"Then, um...what's wrong with you? I'm really sorry for making you cry. I'm very sorry." Zhang Rui looked at Zhu Wanying, who had wiped away the tears on her cheeks, but her eyes were still red. He quickly jumped off his horse, went to her and lowered his head to apologize.
"No... no... it's not because of this..." Zhu Wanying replied unaccustomedly as she looked at the man in front of her at such a close distance.
At this moment, she was particularly grateful for Zhang Rui's arrival, even if it was only Zhang Rui who showed up at this moment. This is like a weak person who suddenly finds a life-saving straw when he is about to die.
Although his body is not very tall and strong, it can give Zhu Wanying an inexplicable sense of security. Especially the male hormones contained in the sweat from his body made Zhu Wanying feel that it smelled so good.
"Boy, don't be so disgusted with me. If you don't want to die, just mess around with me!" Zhao Yuanchun said fiercely as he approached Zhu Wanying.
"ah…"
After reacting, Zhu Wanying ignored the defense between men and women. After shouting, she hurriedly grabbed Zhang Rui's arm in front of her and hid behind him to look at Zhao Yuanchun who was coming up.
"Sir, help me..."
After Zhu Wanying saw the weapons Zhang Rui was carrying, she quickly asked Zhang Rui for help.
If a person has no hope of living, he can probably die calmly. But after raising the hope of living, everyone will firmly hold on to the hope of living.
"Don't worry, girl, I won't abandon you." Zhang Rui looked back at the weak Zhu Wanying behind him and comforted her in a low voice.
"Well..." Zhu Wanying didn't feel that it was inappropriate to grab Zhang Rui's arm like this, but she just felt that Zhang Rui was so gentle.
"Who are you, who dare to commit murder in broad daylight?" Zhang Rui looked at Zhao Yuanchun who was approaching and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanchun spit on the ground. Then he raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted to Zhang Rui: "Don't you pretend to be a hero in front of me. I have killed countless people. If you have to report your name every time you kill an unknown person, you must not exhaust me to death."
"I have already let you go. If you don't hide away, don't blame me for killing you if you die and go to the underworld." After saying that, Zhao Yuanchun ran over quickly and struck Zhang Rui and Zhang Rui with a knife.
Zhao Yuanchun stepped forward too quickly, and Zhang Rui was not fully prepared. If Zhang Rui was the only one here, he would definitely be able to avoid it easily. However, after Zhang Rui dodged, the woman behind him might be struck down by Zhao Yuanchun.
In order to avoid Zhao Yuanchun's move, Zhang Rui had to turn around quickly, hug the woman behind him, and turn around.
Zhu Wanying, who was suddenly held in Zhang Rui's arms, couldn't help but screamed. The moment Zhu Wanying was turned around by Zhang Rui, she saw Zhao Yuanchun's knife falling to the place where she had just stood.
The cold light flashed by the bright white sword passed through her beautiful eyes, making her feel frightened for a while. If Zhang Rui hadn't hugged her and turned away, she might have been hacked to death by Zhao Yuanchun.
"Qiang..."
"clang…"
Before Zhu Wanying could regain her composure, she heard the crisp sound of unsheathing and the collision of swords.
However, when Zhao Yuanchun saw that the slash with his sword had no effect, he quickly slashed with his sword horizontally. Zhang Rui turned around and pulled out the short knife from his waist to block Zhao Yuanchun's slashing attack.
The huge collision caused their hands to go numb. Thanks to Zhang Rui's continuous training recently, otherwise Zhang Rui wouldn't be able to stop Zhao Yuanchun's sword power.
Although Zhang Rui blocked the knife, he still held a beautiful woman in his arms and blocked the knife with one hand. The numbness of his hand was much more uncomfortable than that of Zhao Yuanchun.
At this moment, Zhang Rui hurriedly hugged Zhu Wanying and took a few steps back in an attempt to get out of Zhao Yuanchun's attack range. Then Zhao Yuanchun obviously would not give him such an opportunity.
Just when Zhao Yuanchun was about to bully him, he struck again. The loud sound of horse hooves was so close.
"drive…"
"Thieves, don't be so arrogant. If you dare to touch my leader, you can kill me, Liu."
Liu Shitou, who was rushing over, saw someone dared to use a knife to deal with Zhang Rui, so he immediately took out the simple knife from his waist and rode up.
When his life was at stake, Zhao Yuanchun could not afford to attack Zhang Rui. But he quickly raised his knife to protect himself.
"clang…"
There was a loud clash of steel knives.
Under Liu Shitou's strength, Zhao Yuanchun even felt that his body was almost out of control and was shaking constantly. Fortunately, Liu Shitou was not used to riding on a horse at this time, and the position of this corner could not increase the horse's speed. Otherwise, Zhao Yuanchun would feel like he couldn't block a single blow.
"What a damn unlucky person. If I had known about this mess earlier, I would never have done it. If you can escape now, you should escape quickly! As for Gao Chengxiang, it's up to you. I won't take care of you anymore." Yuanchun thought secretly in his heart.
"You guys, why don't you come to me quickly? Did I take you in so that you can watch them there?" Zhao Yuanchun turned around and yelled at the bandits behind him.
However, after Zhao Yuanchun shouted loudly, not only did the bandits not come over, they all fled in a swarm.
"Go and catch them all." Liu Shitou ordered the guards who rushed over.
"yes…"
The guards commanded by Liu Shitou responded loudly in unison.
Looking at the cavalry that kept coming from around the corner, Zhao Yuanchun knew that he was finished. You definitely can't defeat him if you fight him, and you can't escape him by running away.
"It seems that the only option is to use a unique move." Zhao Yuanchun thought.
Zhao Yuanchun threw the knife to the ground, knelt down and shouted to Zhang Rui, who was still holding Zhu Wanying and looking at him not far away:
"I surrender, I surrender. Don't kill me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby waiting to be fed. Please don't kill me. If I die, they won't survive..."
Zhao Yuanchun cried and shed tears. The shouting words can even make people feel sad and cry.
"Chief, are you okay? Are you injured?" Liu Shitou looked at Zhang Rui holding a beautiful woman in his arms, not wanting to disturb him. But it was his duty, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.
"Stone, luckily you arrived in time, I'm fine. I'll reward you for your merits when I go back." Zhang Rui hugged Zhu Wanying tightly and said happily.
"Chief, I don't dare to ask for a reward. If we hadn't neglected our duties, we wouldn't have led the leader to a dangerous place. The leader will punish us." Liu Shitou lowered his head in self-reproach and replied. If he hadn't seen how inconvenient Zhang Rui was at this time, he might have knelt in front of Zhang Rui and begged for punishment.
"It's not your fault, it's my own willfulness." Zhang Rui replied.
At this time, Zhu Wanying, who was still held in Zhang Rui's arms, also recovered. Thinking of being held in the arms of a strange man in front of everyone. His face couldn't help but turn red.
Although she couldn't understand what Zhang Rui was talking to Liu Shitou, her daughter's restraint forced her to interrupt Zhang Rui and said to Zhang Rui softly:
"Sir, can you let me go first?"
