Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 592 Qi Sanlang, Death

Less than ten meters away from the cave, Jiang Shangxian suddenly stopped.

She sniffed and realized that the stench from last night had grown stronger. She pricked up her ears and said, "Jinyun, listen to that noise. Do you usually make such a loud noise when you fight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain soil under his feet seemed to be stepped on by something huge, and his body trembled due to inertia.

Jinyun wanted to say no, but then he heard a strange roar coming from the cave: "It's the sound from last night!"

Oh no, that thing is still in there!

The worst situation has occurred, Cui Bianxu's life or death is unknown, and large wild animals and enemies are all there!

Jiang Shangxian was also a bit angry this time, and he cursed: "Damn it, when people are unlucky, even their heels will break when they fart. This is all the trouble!"

The guards had never seen such a woman before, and their eyes widened in confusion. But before they could digest the fact that their wife had cursed them, they heard Jiang Shang speak again: "Follow my instructions later, grab Jiubai and Zhao Shan and run. Remember, we don't want to fight to the death! If you get separated, find a place to hide and reunite when the whistle sounds. Your own lives are the most important! If you all survive, you will receive a year's salary when you return!"

As Xiao Jiang said this, she reached into her cross-body bag and grabbed a big firecracker. Cui Bianxu had this thing, so naturally, Xiao Jiang had it too!

Fortunately, I wanted to throw away this heavy thing several times on the way but couldn't bear to do it.

"Yes!"

They didn't dare respond too loudly, but their trembling voices betrayed their excitement.

Surprise, what a surprise!

My wife's personality is really, too open-minded!

Inside the cave.

As soon as Jiubai entered the cave, he noticed something strange inside, but there was a clear change in light between the outside and the inside, and human eyes usually cannot quickly adapt to the moment from light to darkness.

Fortunately, the fight last night was intense enough, and the cave was full of gravel. Coupled with the stench mixed with the smell of blood, he had to slow down his pace.

However, he had already made up his mind - Cui Bianxu was not here.

The reason why he didn't leave was because he wanted to see if there would be any traces left by Cui Bianxu and his group at the scene. After all, the whistle last night came from here.

"Hoohoo."

A strange sound suddenly rang out, similar to the sound of something jetting air. Jiubai paused, and before he could react, he felt the air in the cave suddenly flow rapidly, and then a pair of eyes as bright as yellow lanterns suddenly opened in the darkness.

Vertical pupils!

Jiubai had no time to think about how big this thing was. He stepped back quickly with his feet, and then a huge crash sounded at his original position.

An extremely huge snake head appeared in his eyes, and its long tongue, carrying a bad breath that had not been purified for hundreds of years, slid across his nose. Just this one encounter made the hair all over his body explode, and a thin layer of sweat instantly broke out between his toes.

In the real-life version of a race with death, Jiubai obviously still cherishes his life. He chopped the snake's tongue with the long knife in his hand, and rushed out without looking back, regardless of whether he hit it or not. He ran a few steps before bumping into someone.

The other side had a large number of people, and Jiubai was forced to pause his escape. The sound of friction between the giant snake behind him and the ground was heard in an instant.

When people are in danger, the only thing they can rely on is instinct. He chose to roll to the side at the first moment.

Zhao Ji and his group had not figured out the situation when they were hit head-on by a giant snake that was roaring towards them. Although the guards given by Li Tai were all very skilled, they had lost the initiative and the light was dim, so the three people in front of them were still bitten by the snake's open mouth. They only had time to scream before they were silent in an instant.

Before the others could react to this sudden situation, some people felt themselves being thrown backwards by a powerful force. The people standing behind, looking at the light from outside, all fled in panic, not caring about what they had originally planned to do.

Zhao Ji had always been cautious, so he naturally followed at the end of the group. As for Zhao Shan and Qi Sanlang, due to their physical condition, they were already exhausted after two or three days in the mountains. They could not keep up with the main group at all and were always at the tail end. This made it convenient for the three of them to escape.

The situation changed almost instantly with Zhao Ji running in the first place, Zhao Shan following closely behind, and Qi Sanlang was even worse than him, barely managing to get third place.

"Madam, they are coming out!" Yingzi, who had received the task, locked his eyes on Zhao Shan like a GPS, and his whole body revealed an eagerness to go up and pull Zhao Shan back.

Jiang Shangxian moved very fast, searching for Jiubai but found nothing. Instead, judging from the state of the people at the entrance of the cave, he guessed that the thing inside must be an extremely ferocious beast.

Otherwise, how could the other side, with more than ten people, want to run away without even thinking of resisting after just one encounter?

It was at this moment that she made a decision: "We can't let them escape. Force them all back!"

We still haven't figured out what's inside, and using our own people to confront the unknown creatures head-on is certainly not as safe as forcing the enemy to take the lead.

Whether both sides suffer losses or one side wins, they can reap the benefits.

She said this without any hesitation. She raised her hand and shot an arrow from her sleeve straight towards Zhao Ji's face.

Although I have never met this distant relative, he is the only old man in this group of people.

Although Zhao Ji was old, he was still a martial artist. Even though he was frightened by the giant snake inside and fled in panic, he still made a choice in an instant when the arrow was coming straight at him, and dodged sideways with a sharpness far beyond his age.

When Zhao Shan, who was at the back, heard the sound of breaking air, he decisively squatted down and rolled to the side. His posture was unfamiliar and stiff, and he looked embarrassed, but this instinctive reaction ability that he had heard and seen since childhood was obviously extremely useful.

Because he only avoided and did not attack, the arrow shot by Jiang Shangxian passed through two people in succession and hit Qi Sanlang right between the eyebrows with the same power.

The scholar, who was eager to climb the social ladder, opened his eyes wide and ran forward two steps due to inertia before falling down softly.

His eyes stared at Zhao Ji, as if asking him why he didn't protect him since he had saved his life!

Unfortunately, Zhao Ji didn't have time to look at him, let alone answer him.

The grace of saving a life is important, but your own life is more important.

Besides, his previous behavior towards Qi Sanlang was just for show to the King of Wei and his guards.

At least I have to let people know that I am a person who values ​​gratitude, so that the King of Wei will be more confident in using me.

Jiang Shangxian recognized him, but he did not feel the regret of killing the wrong person.

She had given him a chance last time, and now that he showed up here, she said he deserved to die.
