"Go away!" Li Zhen pulled Jiuzhi and ran towards the other side of the ridge.

Sure enough, this scream attracted the attention of the centurion of the Tubo Army. How could there be any movement on the side? He felt alert in his heart and immediately sent several subordinates to check the situation.

After a moment, Tubo soldiers found three bodies and rushed to report to the centurion, which surprised the centurion.

The target cannot escape in the cave, but an ambush next to it is a hidden danger. He immediately ordered: "Stop going up the mountain and search the left ridge!"

The Tubo soldiers immediately divided into two groups, and several soldiers continued to stare at the cave, and the remaining eighteen people flew into the ridge on the left in a fan shape.

The situation of Gao Yanfu, the messenger in the cave, was very critical. They had no bows and arrows, only Gao Yanfu's carry sword and two followers' horizontal swords.

Both followers were palace guards. They were very skilled in martial arts, but they lacked practical experience. They were injured in the fierce battle with Tubo soldiers. One of them was seriously injured and was almost out of reach.

If the Tubo centurion ordered another strong attack, he would be able to achieve his goal, but now he will siege and attack from all sides, the result will be the same.

Just when Gao Yanfu was about to despair, he heard a scream from outside, which made him feel like he had caught a wooden board in the drowning that was about to be over. Someone must have come to save him.

He was holding a fire note in his hand. He just kept lit and extinguished it, hoping that someone would see his distress signal.

But he himself did not have much hope. It was too slim for someone to save them in the wilderness, and even if someone saw them, he might not be able to defeat the Tubo soldiers. But now, hope is here.

"Zhang Xi, cheer up, someone is here to save us!"

Two followers, one named Sun Li, was seriously injured and lying on the ground dying. The other was named Zhang Xi. He was stabbed in his left shoulder and lost a little blood, making him look a little drowsy.

Their luggage and medicine were thrown away while running away. If the injury was not cured in time, the guard Sun Li would probably not be able to survive dawn.

Zhang Xi stood up and stared outside the cave for a moment and said, "Mr. Fu, it is very likely that Wang Xiaojie's army is here to save us."

Gao Yanfu tore off a piece of clothing and bandages Zhang Xi's wounds that were constantly bleeding, and said with a wry smile: "No matter who he is, he can kill the Tubo people."

At this time, another scream came from outside, which made them feel refreshed again, as if they had seen hope of survival.

...........

Li Zhen no longer had the hindrance of the first time he killed someone. His cruel and ruthless side gradually showed it. He threw down a Tubo soldier, and instantly cut off the soldier's throat, then pulled out his sword and ran towards Jiuzhi who was in the fierce battle.

They were surrounded by three Tubo soldiers, Li Zhen killed two people, Jiu Zhi was fighting with another person, fighting at close range, his flying knife did not play a role, and was pressed to the ground by a burly Tubo husband.

The ten Tubo captain strangled his neck with one hand, and Xueliang's dagger was raised high. Jiu Zhi tried his best to hold the other party's arm and shouted like a pig: "I'm going to die, Lao Li save me!"

Just as the dagger was about to stab, a sword light flashed, and the head of the ten Tubo captain flew up, blood from his neck was spurted out, and the body fell on Jiuzhi. Jiuzhi was so scared that he screamed wildly.

Li Zhen kicked the body away. Seeing that his companion was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. Jiu Zhi's head and face were covered with blood. He stood up to slam his throat and retching desperately. He was already scared and could not say a word.

"Follow me!"

Li Zhen pulled Jiuzhi up. More than a dozen Tubo reinforcements were coming from afar. They had to leave. After running two steps, Jiuzhi found that the skin on his body was gone. When he turned around, he saw that the skin was next to the corpse.

Jiuzhi was about to pick it up, but a thought flashed through Li Zhen's mind like a flash of lightning. He grabbed Jiuzhi, "Don't pick it up, just throw it there!"

He pulled the confused wine aspiration to the top of the mountain. After a moment, more than a dozen Tubo soldiers rushed to the place where they were fighting just now. Two enemies had already escaped. There were only three corpses on the ground, including a tenth chief.

A soldier picked up the skin that Jiuzhi left behind, rumored with his companions, turned around and ran down the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Li Zhen and Jiuzhi hid behind a rock. Jiuzhi sat on the ground with his back against the big stone, feeling shocked.

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, he was so scared that he trembled all over and shivered, but Lao Li saved his life at the critical moment, and his heart was full of gratitude.

"Old Li, why do we have such luck? It's rare to go out for a long trip and even meet Tubo soldiers."

"Old Li?"

Jiuzhi found that Li Zhen did not respond. He looked back and saw Li Zhen holding a bow and arrow in his hand, staring at the bottom with a focused expression. He didn't listen to him at all. Jiuzhi rolled over and stretched his neck to visit, "What's wrong?"

"Shh!"

Li Zhen gently pushed him away, knelt on one knee on the ground, straightened his body, held the bow with his left hand, and pulled an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, and slowly placed it on the bowstring.

Jiuzhi looked at the other side of the rock and saw a torch lit at the foot of the mountain. In the flames, a Tubo soldier who looked like a general was holding something and was vaguely looking at his own skin.

At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly pulled out his bow, and the long arrow broke out from the string, and shot towards the Tubo officer in the flames like lightning. The arrow was extremely fast, hitting the Tubo officer's forehead, and the tip of the arrow shot through the skull.

The Tubo centurion screamed and fell on his back. Several Tubo soldiers around him were in chaos. They helped the centurion up and shouted. The other Tubo soldiers searching on the ridge also felt something was wrong and ran down the mountain.

Jiuzhi suddenly covered his mouth and widened his eyes. Then he suddenly realized that his skin had turned into bait. After picking it up, the Tubo soldiers would definitely go back to report and give Li Zhen the chance to shoot the Tubo leader. It was simply too clever.

Shooting people first, shooting horses, capturing thieves first, capturing the king. The centurion of Tubo was shot and killed, causing the Tubo soldiers to lose their leader. In addition, they suffered heavy casualties. At first, there were more than 30 people, but now there are only fifteen people left, which makes the Tubo soldiers feel anxious. The next one to be shot may be them.

The last fifteen Tubo soldiers boarded their horses, left the plural mountain, and rushed to the south.

When Li Zhen and Jiuzhi saw that the Tubo soldiers left on horseback, they were overjoyed and slapped heavily to celebrate their victory.

Jiuzhi laughed and said, "Go and see. If he saved a huge Sogdian merchant this time, he would have to pay us tens of thousands of dollars!"

The two of them slowly slid down from the mountain rock and approached the entrance of the cave. A black shadow rushed out from the rock beside the entrance of the cave, and slashed at them with a knife.

Li Zhen was shocked, dodged the knife and shouted: "We are not Tubo people, come and save you!"

The black shadow was the guard Zhang Xi. He didn't know that the Tubo soldiers had retreated. He found that someone was slowly approaching the entrance of the cave. He hid behind the rock with his sword. Unexpectedly, the other party was the benefactor who saved them.

Zhang Xi was so scared that she quickly put away her knife, "Sorry! Sorry! I don't know I am the benefactor."

Li Zhen waved his hand, "It's okay, it's not a big deal for those who don't know. The Tubo soldiers have already withdrawn. Don't you know?"

Zhang Xi was stunned, and suddenly felt ecstatic, and turned around and ran into the cave, "Mr. Fu, the Tubo people have withdrawn!"

Gao Yanfu was also overjoyed and slapped his forehead repeatedly, "God has eyes, I, Gao Yanfu, survived the disaster!"

At this time, Jiu Zhi curled his lips at the entrance of the cave and said, "If we hadn't shot and killed the Tubo leaders, would they retreat?"

Gao Yanfu suddenly woke up and hurriedly came out, "Two benefactors, I'm rude!"

Li Zhen glared at Jiuzhi. This fat man couldn't speak, so he could not take the initiative to show his merits. At the very least, he didn't understand the worldly ways. He bowed and said, "Sir, don't be polite. When faced with danger, we should draw our swords to help!"

Gao Yanfu understood in his heart that the other party just didn't want to make things difficult for him. This life-saving grace could not be done with 'thank you'.

He suddenly felt good about Li Zhen. The young man was not very old but very sensible. He hurriedly said, "You are the two great kind of life-saving, Gao remembers them in your heart. If you don't thank you for your kindness, I won't be very polite."

Li Zhen smiled and his eyes fell on the guard Sun Li on the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead. He felt that his whole body was hot. A long knife wound under his left rib was shocking. It had turned black and suppurated. If he didn't treat it, the person would be dead.

He quickly took out the wound medicine from his arms. Each of them carried the wound medicine with him. It was prepared by Master Wangchen for them. It was a miraculous effect on treating injuries. Unfortunately, Xiaoxi was not there. His medical skills were the best and he was almost caught up with Master Wangchen.

The first problem in front of him was how to disinfect it? Li Zhen thought about it and asked Jiuzhi to ignite the fire. He pulled out the dagger and burned it on the fire for a while.

Then carefully cut off the black flesh on both sides of the wound, but the pus could not be washed. When the little eunuch next to him said, "I have wine here!"

He handed a small wine gourd, and Li Zhen was overjoyed. The little eunuch was very clever. He quickly took the wine gourd and carefully washed Sun Li's wound with wine. Then he evenly sprinkled the white wound on his wound, tearing off a piece of clothes to bandage him. Sun Li moaned in pain.

From beginning to end, Gao Yanfu and Zhang Xi were both proud and dared not let out a sip. It was not until the wound was finally bandaged that Gao Yanfu asked nervously: "Can his life be saved?"

"He was too serious. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago. Fortunately, he was strong. If he could survive until dawn, he might have saved his life."

Gao Yanfu breathed a little relieved and asked quickly, "I wonder if the two young men's surnames are the names, can you tell Gao?"

Without waiting for Li Zhen to be polite, Jiu Zhi said proudly: "We are all from Dunhuang County. My name is Jiu Zhi, the wine that drinks, the ambition that is Aspiring, and his name is Li Zhen. The good-looking Zhen of the Ring Zhen, four of us, and the other two went to ask for help."

"Oh! It turns out it was Li Shaolang and Jiu Shaolang. I remember, please sit down and rest for a while."

After fighting fiercely in the middle of the night, Li Zhen was really tired. He was a little polite and sat down.

Jiuzhi also sat down next to him, took the water handed over by the little eunuch without hesitation, and drank two sips, "Hey! It's really like a dream, Fatty, I actually killed someone."

Gao Yanfu smiled slightly, "Can Jiu Shaolang tell me how you discovered us and killed a few Tubo soldiers?"

Li Zhen's heart moved. This person was very smart! He didn't tell himself who they were, but he also took away all his news.

Moreover, these people don’t look like traveling merchants. They have accents, but they look like people coming from the capital.

Li Zhen has had a talent higher than ordinary people since he was a child. His scheming and scheming are far better than his peers. Li Zhen did not stop drinking and sat aside and smiled without saying a word.

Jiuzhi did not have the scheming of Li Zhen. He was extremely proud, so he originally said how they wanted to go to Yumen, how they took the wrong path, how they found a seriously injured entourage, and how they fought fiercely with the Tubo army without reservation. Of course, he exaggerated his contributions a little.

"We killed nine Tubo people in total, I killed three people, Dazhuang killed one person, Lao Li killed five people, and their leader."

Gao Yanfu nodded. It seemed that the Tubo soldiers had really retreated. He gave Li Zhen a thumbs up and praised: "Li Shaolang is both wise and brave. What Gao has seen in his life, I wonder who Shaolang is under?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "Mr. Gao is coming from the capital!"

Gao Yanfu laughed loudly, "I was confused. After asking for a long time, I forgot to introduce myself. We did come from the capital of God Luoyang and came to Dunhuang for business. Gao Yanfu was given the order. These two were both palace guards, one named Zhang Xi and the other named Sun Li."

Gao Yanfu pointed to the little eunuch beside him and smiled: "This is my adopted son, named Gao Lishi."
