Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 595 Gap

Jiang Shangxian lowered his voice and said, "Yingzi, if the situation is not good, you should take Zhao Shan away first."

"Yes!" Yingzi did not hesitate. She and Zhao Shan were the weakest in combat here, and they might even be a drag. The best strategy was to retreat first if the situation was not right.

As he was speaking, the giant snake's big head came out of the cave again, bit the nearest person, and then raised its head high and swung it hard. In an instant, the man was broken in half, and fell from the air with blood splattering everywhere!

The giant snake's free import service made everyone's bladders tighten. Jiang Shangxian made a quick decision and shot an arrow at Zhao Ji: "Run!"

Seeing this, the guards followed suit, kicking and hacking at others. In short, they gave Zhao Ji and the other four a final blow and then ran away without looking back.

Zhao Ji narrowly avoided an arrow, but was kicked in the butt by someone. He fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, and the curse in his mouth was cut off before he could finish half of it.

Seeing that the giant snake was about to attack again, the old guy used the same trick again. He pulled a guard to block in front of him, and then he rolled and crawled away with a knife in his hand, following Jiang Shangxian and his group.

Zhao Shan had just recovered from the shock of the giant snake when Yingzi pulled him into a frantic run. His head was buzzing, and he kept saying hello to Jiang Shangxian: "Auntie Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay? Where is Jiulang? Why can't I see him?"

Jiang Shangxian, exhausted from running around, had no time to deal with this guy whose reaction time was so slow. He took the opportunity to slap him on the back, then he and Yingzi grabbed his arm and ran forward, cursing loudly: "Okay, okay, what the hell! You idiot, how did you get caught by Zhao Laosan?!"

This big fool, we have already booked a room for him and paid for his trip back to Chang'an, yet he was still caught!

Whoosh whoosh.

Zhao Shan was dragged up by the two men and was about to cry about how unlucky he was, but when he heard the sound of leaves and stones rubbing against the dirt road behind him, he couldn't help but look back. After just one glance, he closed his mouth, gritted his teeth and ran for his life.

Omg!

Why is this thing still being chased?

Isn't it enough to fill the stomachs of so many people?

This time, Zhao Ji really felt that he was about to die. He didn't know who kicked him just now, but the kick was so dark that his butt still hurt.

But his life was at stake, so he had to ignore the pain and glanced at the two guards who were on the same level as him but at a distance.

They had all seen him dragging someone down with him just now, and now they all wanted to stay away from him for their own safety.

There was no suitable person to be used as a scapegoat, and Zhao Ji became increasingly uneasy. He swung his legs like a short-legged dog thrown into the river by its owner, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to escape from the current predicament.

Jiang Shangxian was also thinking about this. The giant snake was too fast. If it weren't for the dense forest in the mountains blocking their way, they would have been caught up long ago.

But human endurance is limited after all. She now feels like her chest is on fire and is afraid that she can't run for much longer.

If I stop, I might end up leaving it here.

Suddenly, a scream came from behind, and the shrill cry went through the dense forest and reached the sky.

It is said that Chinese people are the most curious. Jiang Shangxian and his group, every one of them, even Zhao Shan, whose legs were weak from exhaustion, couldn't help but look back to watch the fun.

The guard running on Zhao Ji's left side was like an old turtle with its shell pinched by someone. It struggled and kicked with all four legs to rise into the air. With the movement of a giant snake shaking its head, it became silent in just a few breaths, and a bloody rain began to fall from the sky again.

Seeing this, Jiang Shangxian simply stopped and shot an arrow at the remaining guard and Zhao Ji.

This time she hit both of them on the thighs.

Staying alive can better buy them time.

Unfortunately, his aim was not good in his haste, and both arrows missed the target. Instead, they attracted the attention of the giant snake. There was still warm blood at the corner of its mouth mixed with snake saliva, dripping down, leaving long translucent blood threads, and the snake's pupils rapidly changed between vertical, horizontal, and circular.

Jiang Shangxian was so disgusted by the water snake that she suddenly pulled Zhao Shan forward and ran forward again. Zhao Shan almost fell to the ground because of her pull.

"Madam! There is a crevice in the rock ahead. Someone should be able to hide inside. Please go in quickly and take shelter!" Jiubai, who had been running in the front, did not just focus on running. He knew that in this situation, if he continued to run, there would only be two possibilities.

They were eaten by the giant snake, or the snake itself didn't want to chase them anymore.

The latter is obviously impossible, and the former is absolutely impossible.

So he was always searching for a place to take shelter temporarily.

There are many caves in this mountain, but they can enter the big caves, and even giant snakes can enter, so it is not easy to find a small cave.

Thanks to God, he finally saw one.

Hearing there was a place to hide, Jiang Shangxian ran even harder. He peered straight ahead and, sure enough, spotted a gap about a meter from the ground. It wasn't a small gap, just enough for one person to pass through. It was pitch black, so he couldn't see clearly what was inside.

She just hoped there was enough space inside for them all to hide inside.

Jiubai had obviously thought of this as well. He quickly slipped in and out again, yelling at them, "Madam, there's room in there!"

All the guards stopped at the gap. They did not enter this temporary hiding place immediately. Instead, only two of them went in. They did not push the three of them in until Jiang Shangxian came close.

As soon as Jiang Shangxian entered, he felt that all his strength had been drained away, and his legs were as soft as noodles. If he hadn't been supporting himself on the stone wall, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

But when she thought of the four guards outside working for her, she regained her strength and stretched out a hand: "Hurry, come in!"

Yingzi also shouted, "Hurry up! Master Zhao, get up!"

She used her two little arms to drag Zhao Shan aside to avoid blocking the way.

The guards did not hesitate and jumped in one by one. When there were only two guards left, Zhao Ji and the other two caught up.

Seeing that Jiang Shangxian and others had found their hiding place, Zhao Ji felt a surge of anger in his heart.

This little woman had attacked him several times just now. Even if this gap could hide someone, he was afraid he couldn't get in.

The giant snake behind him was chasing him closely. If he had no place to hide, he might die here today. How could he accept this?

Adhering to the idea that he couldn't let others have an easy life if he himself didn't, Zhao Ji attacked the remaining two guards without hesitation.

Even if he were to die, he wanted someone to be buried with him!

Although the only remaining guard of King Wei had been dissatisfied with Zhao Ji for his lack of martial ethics, at this time the two of them had highly consistent ideas. When he saw Zhao Ji taking action, he immediately attacked the other person.

For a moment, the sound of weapons clashing outside the gap was endless.
