The horse thief saw that it was a young man who was ruining his good deeds. He drew out the sword from his waist and prepared to strike at him. The boy in a short shirt immediately dodged the sword and swung the spring window butterfly wrapped in black cloth with his right hand. Swinging at the horse thief from right to left.
The horse thief's body that had not yet risen was staggered by the sudden blow because he missed with his sword. Lin Manliu suddenly let go of the Spring Chuangdie he was holding and let it hang in the air. He lifted the Spring Chuangdie upside down with his left hand and then lifted it up from bottom to top. He bounced the horse thief's body back, and the boy in short shirt turned around and kicked the horse thief directly under a tree. He didn't stop until the horse thief hit the tree without any resistance.
In just a few breaths, it was like a dragon's head emerging from the clouds, its tail swaying, and the mountains and rivers moving. This was exactly what Ye Dang heard - the sword was as powerful as the yellow dragon.
Blood slowly flowed out from the horse thief's mouth and nose. It was obvious that he was dead. The hand of the boy in a short shirt holding the Spring Chuangdie trembled from time to time. He had been attacked in Fengcheng, but he was the first to fight back and beat someone to death. Second-rate......
With the death of this horse thief, all the other horse thieves were also strangled to death by the cavalry. Li Yanhe shot directly into the throat to cut off the life of the horse thief leader, leaving him to die in despair and powerlessness as he watched his subordinates die. In the end, all the horse thieves died on both sides of the mountain road, and only the escaped man in the caravan died. A smaller black shadow gradually disappeared into the forest and disappeared.
The Rongcheng cavalry began to clean up the surrounding corpses and moved out of the mountain road to facilitate the caravan's advance.
Li Yanhe looked at everyone and finally stopped looking in the direction of the boy in a short shirt: "I didn't dare to step forward because I was afraid of scaring the caravan. As a result, the caravan was in danger. It was Li who was not careful. I'm sorry to everyone." After that, he walked over to Lin Manliu and said, "It's okay, nothing happened." He wiped the dust off the face of the boy in a short shirt with his bare hands.
The young man in short shirt felt very strange as to why General Li Yanhe would act like this. However, I still have to express my gratitude to General Li Yanhe: "Thank you very much for being rescued by General Li again." Li Yanhe obviously noticed Lin Manliu's unnatural left hand, patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you don't kill him, I might be in danger. The sword to save people should not be afraid of what he does."
The young man in short shirt was deep in thought. Just when he was about to continue to reply to Li Yanhe, he was interrupted by the caravan steward from the other side of the caravan. He said, "Thank you so much... General Li for saving your life, my dear." I don’t know if we are almost past the Jianmen Pass and we will encounter horse thieves. If it weren’t for General Li, we would all be doomed.”
Li Yanhe clasped his fists and gestured: "It doesn't matter, we are also preparing to patrol the Jianmen Pass area and happen to encounter a caravan in danger. There are often remnants of treason here who try to subvert the Yanyang territory, and we will definitely not let them succeed." After finishing speaking, Li Yanhe led the cavalry to prepare to return to Chengdu. When passing by Lin Manliu, he paused, glanced at the young man in a short shirt and said to everyone: "We are ready to return to the city. The caravan needs to pay more attention to safety on the road. Try to go to the official road as much as possible and don't risk traveling at night." Then he led his troops back.
(It is recommended that you can watch the works related to "Wish the World Is Immaculate" and Li Yanhe's related works here)
Everyone in the caravan recalled the scene from the end of the battle to the present when Li Yanhe asked Li Yanhe in the city. It was obvious that Li Yanhe took care of the boy in the short shirt. Naturally, the caravan manager understood better and immediately trotted forward and stood there. Lin Manliu turned to Li Yanhe and thanked him repeatedly. When he looked at the boy in a short shirt, he smiled more, as if he had picked up a treasure.
On the subsequent drive, the conversation between the caravan steward and the men who were talking about the boy in short shirts changed again.
"I just said that Man Liu is capable. Look at the horse thief who was easily dealt with by Man Liu," the caravan steward said loudly to the men surrounding him.
"Me too" echoing voices spread throughout the caravans.
"Man Liu, this kid, is helping us boil water, carry bowls, and chop firewood for cooking on the road ahead. I didn't expect that he is also a good fighter. After that, the caravan will be safe."
"Yes, yes, it will be no problem to see the six-month-old in the next half month or so."
...
From the beginning, when I helped the caravan on the road, some people in the caravan had a good impression of someone who was doing something wrong. When things happened in the city, they all blamed Lin Manliu, and put all their resentment on a child. Now, because he is favored by the general and can fight and protect the carriage, the view of the boy in the short shirt has changed to that of admiration. This is the human heart.
The young men in short shirts did not feel the slightest favorable impression of them because of their pursuit. From being disgusted and disliked by the men in front of the caravan to being admired and admired now, not even a day has passed. The attitude has changed so quickly, and such popularity has This made Lin Manliu feel even more disgusting.
Later on when the caravan was driving, the boy in the short shirt would still help if needed, and Lin Manliu would still do what needed to be done. However, at the beginning, his smile gradually disappeared from Fengcheng, and he was just silent during the journey. Following the car, I played with my black cloth strips on some roads in the mountains and forests, and then continued on my way. When I rested at the inn, I ate by myself in a corner. After eating, I waited for everyone to go on the road. This trip was only for Hangzhou. Lu Mansion completed the master's entrustment.
The boy in a short shirt was initially full of affection for his father and his friends who worked together. After all, they were the ones who took him on long journeys and were fellow travelers to Hangzhou with him. However, before they left Shu, their views on him changed again and again. . It was really unacceptable to Lin Manliu. I treated him with my heart, but what I got in exchange was contempt and sarcasm.
If it hadn't been for General Li Yanhe's deliberate care and his performance when the horse thieves blocked the road, he would have been like a wild dog, abandoned by them in the Jianmen Pass area.
I use my own heart to judge people's hearts, but people's hearts are so deceitful.
...
March 7, sunny
After several days of traveling, the caravan finally entered Juzhou, where the Sword Forging Peak was mentioned by the master. Before you stay away from this place, you must be careful not to conflict with the Qiao and Li family's sword-making peak worship. The events in Rongcheng and Jianmen have really brought some sequelae to Lin Manliu. If anything goes wrong, it will happen.
However, when entering Juzhou this time, there were no annoying officials or horse thieves who suddenly broke into the caravan's sight. It seemed safe. The caravan stopped at an inn this time, not at the inn on the edge of the city. The steward meant that he was familiar with the innkeeper, and the stay here was quite long, and he would have to stay for a day or two.
After setting up the carriage goods in the backyard, he and the men followed the steward to the main hall of the inn to prepare for dinner. The steward of the caravan specially called the young man in a short shirt beside him and followed him into the main hall to find a table and chairs to sit down.
"Our chief steward's son is quite handsome, but why doesn't he look like you, our steward?" A man dressed like a rich man joked as he walked towards the steward's table.
"This is my little brother Lin. We came out from Chengdu thanks to little brother Lin's escort. But the noble man we met in the caravan went with us to deliver goods to Hangzhou this time." The caravan steward laughed at the man. said.
While the two were chatting happily, a woman dressed in a handsome manner broke in from the front door? She has a tall ponytail, a smart outfit, leggings and hand guards on her limbs, and a long sword on her back. Looking at her face, she looks very handsome, but you can still tell that she is a woman. She shouted to the innkeeper: "Innkeeper, we are still eating as usual with two jars of wine and one plate. I'm going home right away. Get ready quickly."
The innkeeper laughed and apologized to the steward, then ran to the woman to help her get the wine and food she needed.
