Chapter 291 Frustration

Zhen'an's face turned red and white. ●⌒,. He turned around and looked at the three guards who fell to the ground with arrows, his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

They are all his personal bodyguards, and he knows very well. Even if they are not a warrior from a hundred, they are definitely not weak hands. Wearing iron armor and being shot and killed fifty steps away is really horrifying.

You should know that this is not a sneak attack, but a premeditated escape. Apart from the iron armor on them, there is no burden that will drag them down. If you can't escape under this situation, is it possible to survive in a hurry when attacked?

Even the prince Aliusu may not have such archery skills. Their strength may be similar, but the shooting speed and accuracy of the Han people are slightly higher than Aliusu. For masters like them, this seemingly insignificant gap is likely to be a world of difference, and they may not be able to surpass it even if they practice for a lifetime.

Zhen An's heart was pounding, but he refused to admit defeat. He clapped his hands as if he had dealt with it, tilted his mouth, and joked: "The messenger is indeed good at archery, but it's a pity that one person was still missing."

"Who said I missed?" Liang Xiao raised the bow in his hand, slowly picked up the last arrow, and put it on the string. "My bow can shoot 120 steps. He can't say I missed before he ran 120 steps."

Zhen'an's face changed, his neck did not move, and his eyes moved. "But if the messenger couldn't see him, how could he shoot?"

"Who said that you must use your eyes to shoot arrows?" Liang Xiao raised his head and looked at Zhen'an with a smile, with a relaxed expression and full of confidence.

Zhen'an sneered: "Don't you look at it with your heart?" I've heard of such a high theory, but unfortunately I've seen it with my own eyes. Today I'm lucky to see how magical the messenger's archery is, and whether he can shoot without looking."

"Okay." Liang Xiao laughed. "Sigma, blindfolded my eyes."

"Here." Sigma took out a silk parfait from her arms and covered Liang Xiao's eyes. Liang Xiao sniffed and smiled slightly. "It smells so good." Sigma smiled embarrassedly, lowered her head and stepped back.

Liang Xiao slowly turned around. Looking at the last guard's hiding place, he sang: "When are you going to hide? If you don't run, I'll shoot." As he said, he hit the arrow and was ready to shoot.

Zhen'an was shocked. The guard was behind Liang Xiao's right and was always outside Liang Xiao's sight. But after Liang Xiao turned around, he was facing the direction of the guard, no matter how small it was, just as if he saw the guard pounce in with his own eyes.

Did he have eyes behind him? Zhen'an stared at the back of Liang Xiao's head and looked again and again.

"Are you so scared that you pee your pants or your legs are weak and you don't even dare to run away?" Liang Xiao joked.

Pang Shuo and others on the side laughed, and Alpha and the other two laughed so hard that they were shaking, and the flowers were shaking. The guard hid in the grass and could no longer hold back when he heard the laughter. He raised his head quietly and looked at Liang Xiao in the distance. Seeing Liang Xiao blindfolded his eyes, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly rushed out.

Just as he rushed out, Liang Xiao quickly raised his bow, and shot it like a full moon, and an arrow like a meteor. Before the guard's foot had been stepped out, the arrow came to him. He had only had time to move away from the vital point and was shot into the lower abdomen. The remaining energy on the arrow led him to roll out, rolled a few along the hillside, and let out a shrill scream.

"ah"

Liang Xiao put down his bow, untied the silk squid covering his eyes, and smacked his lips. He felt a little regretful. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Messenger, why don't we try again. This time you will come, and see if you can run out."

Zhen'an shook his head repeatedly. He was not as good as those four guards. He didn't dare to joke about his life.

Liang Xiao warmly invited, "Anyway, I'm idle, so let's try it."

Zhen'an refused. No matter how Liang Xiao tempted him, he would not agree. Liang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, looked disappointed, and was in no mood to pay attention to Zhen'an. While Zhen'an breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that his back was wet and covered in cold sweat. He asked someone to lift the four guards up. After careful examination, he was even more frightened.

All four arrows shot through the iron armor, three of them were shot in the heart and killed on the spot. In the end, the guard's small arrow in the lower abdomen saved his life, but he could not afford to be seriously injured. Only then did Zhen'an understand Liang Xiao's intention and regret it. These four people are the strongest around him. Now, three people were shot and killed by Liang Xiao, and one person was seriously injured. Even if he wanted to escape, no one would protect him. In this deep mountain, there was only one way to die.

Besides, he was not sure to escape under Liang Xiao's arrow.

Zhen'an sat blankly for a while, had to put away his thoughts of running away and walked with Liang Xiao honestly.

Liang Xiao accepted him happily, chatted with him, and had a lot of fun, and no one mentioned the four guards.

The bison roared repeatedly, leaned down and squatted down, protected his shield and stabbed his head with his right spear.

The Wusun Knight rode on his horse and slashed on the shield with a knife. "Bang!" Mars shot everywhere. At the same time, the spear in the buffalo's hand pierced into the knight's lower abdomen. The knight fell off his horse and vomited blood. Before the buffalo had time to pull out the spear, another Wusun Knight rushed over. He didn't have time to think about it, and used his shield to protect his body, and used all his strength to languish to the side.

Unfortunately, he was still one step slower. The Wusun Knight rushed over and stepped on his shield with his horse's hooves. The buffalo was severely injured, and let out a mouthful of blood. The shield in his hand also hangs down. The Wusun Knight raised his sword and slashed with all his strength. The buffalo looked at the cold war horse and grinned and grinned.

"Swoosh!" A sharp arrow flew into the air and shot the Wusun knights. Li Shuyun rushed over and shot several arrows in a row, shooting down three people. "Bison, get on the horse, get on the horse!"

The wild bison did not dare to neglect, so he forced himself to stand up, pulled over a horse without a master, turned over, pulled out his spear, kicked the horse hard, and rushed to Li Shuyun. "Mr. Li, I will open the way for you."

"Okay, let's fight out together." Li Shuyun shouted loudly, observing the surrounding forms nervously, then shouted: "Xiangdong, meet with the spirit fox."

The bison turned his horse's head and rushed eastward. He wiped away the blood from his mouth hard and greeted the mercenaries he saw along the way. "Come on! Keep up!"

The mercenaries followed one after another and gathered together to kill the Wusun people who were entangled with Linghu and others.

Seeing this, the Wusun people did not dare to fight again and retreated from the battlefield one after another.

The mercenaries also slowed down their war horses and gasped. After fighting hard for half a day, they were exhausted.

Li Shuyun circled the horse and observed the situation around him. Sweat beads rolled on his forehead, melting the blood on his face, and dripping down his neck, soaking the battle robe. The battle robe had been soaked in blood and sweat, and nothing was dry. The weather in June was already hot, and when he put on a thick battle robe, he was already sweating all over his body, not to mention that he had to fight the Wusun people fiercely.

Li Shuyun panted and called out Huo Meteor and Xueying, asking them to arrange people to guard the situation. He pondered for a long time and turned back to Batu. "Prince, we may have to change our plans. If we walk like this, we will not be able to walk in Chang'an."

Batu nodded pale. Although he had not experienced many wars, he knew that the situation was critical. After breaking up with Aliusu, they entered the pasture of the Wusun people. The huge caravan attracted more and more Wusun people. In just ten days, they fought seven times, with the interval getting shorter and shorter, but the casualties became greater and greater. If they continued this trend, they would definitely not see Chang'an.

"What do you think of?"

"Find a hidden place, hide some goods, and move forward lightly." Li Shuyun turned his eyes to Guo Wenbin and the merchants. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen Chang'an alive."

"Hide it?" Guo Wenbin was shocked. "When will we come to get it? What should we do if we lose it? This is our entire wealth."

"I said, find a hidden place." Li Shuyun gritted his teeth. "Before leaving, the adults said that if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of burning firewood. As long as you are still alive, no matter how much the loss is, you can always make a profit. But if a person dies, what's the use of even a wealth of thousands of dollars?"

He looked at the merchants and slowed down. "Everyone, we just hid some of them, reduced the burden and accelerated the speed. As long as we can go to Chang'an, even if there is only 30% of the goods, it is enough to make a small profit. It is impossible for you to lose all your money. We just hid these treasures here for the time being, not to give them away. It is better than being snatched away by the Wusun people, right?"

The merchants repeatedly considered it and felt that Li Shuyun was right. Their selling goods this time were all lucrative treasures. As long as 30% of the goods could be transported to Chang'an safely, they would not suffer any losses. Moreover, Li Shuyun's main task was to escort Batu, which annoyed him. Li Shuyun left with the mercenaries, and they became lambs to be slaughtered.

After the discussion was decided, Li Shuyun immediately arranged for someone to find a suitable treasure hiding place. Looking at the bags of pearls, jade and gems, Guo Wenbin sighed: "I thought I could make a big profit this time, but I didn't expect to give up halfway. When will this business road be truly opened?"

"It's almost done." Li Shuyun comforted him, "It won't last long."

"I hope so." Guo Wenbin shook his head, obviously not confident. "Although this road is closer, there are so many oasis countries of all sizes along the way. It is better to pluck the feathers by geese."

"Whether it is an oasis or a grassland, it will be ours sooner or later." Li Shuyun looked at Batu in the distance and lowered his voice. "You will know when you arrive in Chang'an. My Han family is unparalleled in the world. Just wait for the imperial court to go out of the blockade and sweep the grassland in a few years. By then, you will be unobstructed."

Guo Wenbin tilted his head, glanced at him, and smiled silently.

Seeing that Guo Wenbin was half-believing and half-doubted, Li Shuyun didn't say much, but just straightened his chest and a confident light shot out from his eyes.

Two days later, they buried most of the jewelry, went into battle lightly, set out again, and rushed to Chang'an-
