The woman took the baby in a daze, her mouth trembling and she didn't know what to say, but a sharp dagger stabbed the baby hard from under the swaddling clothes.
Li Chang was a civil servant. He didn't even react. He still had a condescending smile on his face, but there was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
He screamed and fell backward, and his bodyguards immediately aimed their crossbows at the women and the few remaining people dressed as rich men in the field.
The situation immediately reversed, dense sleeve arrows flew out from the sleeves of the rich men, and the guards' faces were covered with short sleeve arrows before they even had time to trigger the crossbow.
The woman was naked and threw away the baby in her hand. The short knife continued to fly and stab Li Chang, who was lying on the ground and squirming backwards.
The short knife stabbing Li Chang's body could only make him scream in pain, but it could not penetrate his body. A pair of black soft armor was clearly exposed under the tattered robe.
The captain of the soldiers resisted the pain on his face and triggered the crossbow. The powerful crossbow arrow shot a strong man approaching him. Then he threw away the crossbow that had no arrows and reached out to draw the long knife.
He turned around and slashed hard at the woman.
The woman's ordinary dagger shook and turned into two handles. She crossed her hands and each held a dagger in front of her chest.
Li Chang's personal guard captain was a fierce soldier selected from hundreds of warriors. Hanhen's blow was powerful and heavy. Although the woman's short sword was staggered and could barely hold the long sword, the tip of the long sword was also cut in.
off her shoulders.
The woman screamed, her skirt flew up, and a bright blade suddenly appeared on a pair of wrong shoes, and while it was flying backwards, it stabbed the soldier captain in the lower abdomen.
The captain of the guard did not dodge. When the knife in his skirt stabbed his lower abdomen, his right fist with an iron spike had already hit the woman's towering chest hard.
A chain hammer flew over from the left. The captain of the soldiers had no chance to kill the woman whose breasts were in a mess. He ducked sideways and stood in front of Li Chang, looking fiercely at the enemy in front of him.
The rest of the injured guards also immediately stayed by Li Chang's side, and naturally formed a sharp formation with the captain of the guards.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the old man dressed as a rich man shouted and fled the battlefield with his own men. They fought in a positional battle with the elite soldiers of hundreds of battles. No matter how many masters were there, they were useless.
Li Chang coughed and got up from the ground, stopped the captain of the soldiers from asking for forgiveness and said: "Bandage the wound first, I don't have anything to do."
After sending out scouts, the guard captain pulled out the arrows from his face, wrapped them in wound medicine, and then went to take care of the other seriously injured guards. One of the guards was seriously injured, and the arrows were lodged in his eyes. If he wanted to
If he pulls out the arrow from his sleeve, he will probably die from the pain.
The captain of the guard knocked the injured guard unconscious with a blow of his hand. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow from his sleeve. The unconscious guard screamed, then his whole body convulsed and he passed out again.
The baby's cry woke up the confused Li Chang. He picked up the baby from the ground, opened the swaddling clothes and took a closer look. He found that it was a baby girl. She might be hungry. She was holding out a pair of white and fat little hands and crying loudly.
Li Chang smiled and said: "You evildoer, you are destined to be with me after all. It doesn't matter. Over the years, I have been running around here and there, neglecting my wife. My wife always said that I have lost a daughter and no caring person. Little thing, the matter is over, you
Just be my daughter."
The captain of the soldiers clasped his fists and said: "My lord, this place is dangerous, we must leave as soon as possible."
Li Chang shook his head and said: "No, there are only seven of us, and now we are all injured. Since the thieves ambush here in advance, they can continue to ambush in front.
Release Hai Dongqing and ask the nearest army to come over for support. The terrain here is difficult. We have crossbows and gunpowder shells. The enemy will not be able to attack in a short time. Marquis Yun's army is nearby. I don't believe they have the courage to organize an army attack here.
.”
Seeing that Li Chang had made up his mind, the captain of the personal soldiers quickly released Hai Dongqing and led his own soldiers to guard this dangerous mountain road.
The baby girl kept crying. Li Chang found a thick quilt from the dead rich man's motorcade and spread it on the ground. He lit a bonfire and boiled water. He took out the fried noodles from the horse bag and turned it into a paste.
Let it cool down a little and feed it to the baby girl.
"Hehehe, is it delicious? My fried noodles are much more delicious than the fried noodles made by Yunhou. The fried noodles he made are just for the stomach. My fried noodles have meat floss, walnuts, and ground meat added to them.
The sesame seeds are fried carefully over low heat. You will be happy with the little thing."
The captain of the soldiers stood aside and watched Li Chang feed the baby girl with rough hands and feet, and the ferocious face after being hit by the arrow gradually softened.
Seeing that the mountain wind was strong, they found some quilts from the overturned carriage and wrapped Li Chang and the baby tightly in them.
"Sir, we have been very careful along the way and have never stopped in one place for too long. Why did the assassin have the ability to predict the unknown and ambush here in advance?"
"There is just a problem in Zhuolu County. Do you remember Chun Yuzhong, the rich man in Zhuolu County who had a good relationship with Kong Yuanda? That is our only loophole.
Kong Yuanda has the mentality of a scholar and easily believes in others, so we are bound to have such a disaster."
The captain of the soldiers said doubtfully: "Then why didn't he attack in Zhuolu County? If he attacked there, there is no guarantee that the officer would be able to escape unscathed."
Li Chang laughed and said: "Do you think our hundreds of thousands of troops in the Song Dynasty can't be deployed? Marquis Yun's reputation is spread all over the world. Chunyu Zhong dared to attack us in Zhuolu County. Hey, no matter if it is him or not.
, Marquis Yun would kill his entire Chunyu family.
Under the power of Marquis Yun, there is no place in the world that can guarantee that his family can survive next year!"
Regarding Li Chang's explanation, the captain of the soldiers who also came from the Western Beijing Army was convinced. He pointed to the dead rich man of Liao not far away and said: "There may be relatives of this girl's parents here."
Li Chang glanced at the captain of the soldiers coldly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is my biological daughter Li Wanwan. What does it have to do with those Liao dogs?"
The captain of the soldiers was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he had enough brains. He quickly smiled and saluted the little girl who was babbling after eating and said: "Feng Qibao has met the eldest lady."
Li Chang chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, this is considered a gift, and this jade pendant is considered a gift to you by the eldest lady."
The captain of the guard took a jade pendant from Li Chang and held it happily in his arms. It could be seen that the official loved this little child very much. It was easy for his wife to explain that he just brought back a little girl, and there was no
Take the little girl and her mother back, Madam won't mind, maybe she will be happier if she has a little person in her hand.
Officials travel alone, never sleep on flowers or sleep on willows, and live mostly in the open air. Now it's good to have such a little person to make fun of.
The officer gave the jade pendant to shut up. Not only did he have to shut up, but his brothers would also have to shut up. After returning to the army of Marquis Yun, he must have a good relationship with those who lacked a door to their mouths.
The guy said.
While he was thinking about it, his ears suddenly moved, and he raised his hand and shot the crossbow arrow in his hand. There was a scream in the grass, and a guy dressed as a Liao man stood up from the grass involuntarily, and the arrow hit him.
On his shoulder, the soldier guarding nearby saw this guy getting up and shot another crossbow arrow. This arrow completely shut his mouth, and the crossbow bolt penetrated the back of his head from his mouth.
In the past few years, Li Chang had not been walking on the edge of a dangerous knife edge. He was already familiar with such scenes. He helped the little girl pee with experience, and then wrapped her tightly in a small quilt, thinking in his mind
But I was wondering where I could find a wet nurse for the little girl.
Seeing the captain of the soldiers taking out the gunpowder bombs, Li Chang frowned, took out some cotton from the quilt, and stuffed it into the little girl's ears. The child had just fallen asleep, so he should not be awakened by the explosion of the gunpowder bombs.
Although there are only five wounded soldiers available here, as long as these five people cooperate with gunpowder shells and crossbows, they can still stop a small army from advancing, not to mention the dangerous terrain here.
If the soldiers don't make mistakes, it will be easy to hold on until the army arrives.
Li Chang curled his lips when he thought of these three words Jianghu people. These people may be good at assassinations and sneak attacks. One personal soldier cannot defeat a Jianghu person with strong martial arts skills, but as long as five personal soldiers are supported by standard weapons,
Fifty Jianghu people are no match for them. Even if they don't have crossbows and gunpowder bombs in their hands, it won't be a problem for five well-coordinated soldiers to kill ten Jianghu people. (To be continued)
