Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 444
The sun finally completely set on the other side of the mountain, leaving only a sliver of afterglow, rendering the clouds in the sky red like blood, and the bandits who had been busy for more than half an hour finally completed the task of logging before dark , four piles of huge bonfires ignited ragingly, bursting out with a strong orange-red light, which complemented the sunset glow of the sky. It seemed that the scenery was good, but the exhausted bandits had no intention of admiring it, and they all swayed limply On the grass, he was panting heavily, but before the bandits came back to their senses, they saw a horse galloping from the direction of the main formation in the distance, and Sha Wanli, who was whispering to Huyan Tiexin, had to He rushed forward to meet him.

"Sha Da is the head of the family, Grandpa Sun has an order: All the horses you are riding should be gathered together to prevent Li Xian's son from taking the horse and fleeing!" He gave an order.

"Fart, no horses, what do you guys use to fight!"

"Go to hell, don't you want me to die?"

"Fucking grandson, if you want my horses, ask him to fetch them himself, get out!"

Most of the horse thieves' martial arts are on horseback. Without the horse, they are like tigers without teeth. It is under the extremely fierce Li Xian, so there is absolutely nothing left to do but to die. Hearing that Grandpa Sun wants everyone to hand over their horses, how can they look so good? Before Sha Wanli can say anything, the bandits have already opened their mouths without hesitation. Cursed wildly.

"Presumptuous, anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

The person who came to deliver the order was obviously a master, with a roar like thunder, he forcibly suppressed all the scolding voices of the bandits with just one voice.

"Brother Lu Nan, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate. We are all heroes on horseback. Without horses, our combat power will be in jeopardy. If that little thief leads his troops to attack, it will be difficult for us to wait." Those who stand in the way, why don't you talk to Grandpa Sun again?"

Sha Wanli had already been so disappointed with "Grandson Sun" that he wanted to rebel, but he was not too satisfied with the two conditions Li Xian offered, and was in the process of hesitating, but no matter whether he voted for Li Xian or not, the war horse They were all extremely important bargaining chips, so he was unwilling to do what "Grandun Sun" wanted in every possible way, so he said with a smile on his face.

"There is no need for you to fight. If the little thief dares to rush out of the dense forest, you can just warn me. The rest of the matter will be dealt with by Mr. Sun on his own. Don't talk too much. How long will it take to act according to the order?"

Lu Nan is a martial arts master sent by Empress Wu. Although his status is far inferior to Boss Guan and others, his arrogance is not inferior to Boss Guan and others. He has never paid much attention to Sha Wanli. He couldn't help but sneered, and scolded domineeringly.

"This……"

Originally according to Sha Wanli's plan, if Li Xian's offer was good enough, he would vote for Li Xian, pretending to be a battle, and took the opportunity to offer the horse with both hands to help Li Xian escape from the encirclement, in exchange for a big fight Credit, but was disturbed by the order of "Grandson", this vision is obviously going to fall into the void, and it is not something Sha Wanli likes to see. He intends to protest, but he has no courage to turn against "Grandson". I was so anxious that my head was full of cold sweat.

"Why? The head of the Sha family wants to disobey orders?"

Seeing Sha Wanli hesitating there, Lu Nan's face immediately turned ugly, he gave Sha Wanli a disdainful glance, and squeezed out a sinister sentence from between his teeth.

"Don't dare, dare not, Brother Lu, please wait a moment, Sha will do it right away."

Sha Wanli's face changed several times, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to turn his face on the spot with Grandpa. After rolling his eyes, he could only reluctantly agree.

"Then hurry up, it's going to be completely dark today, if you miss Grandpa's important business, you will have to go around without food, hum!"

Hearing that Sha Wanli had succumbed, Lu Nan didn't say any more, left a cold confession, and immediately ran back to the formation. Without counting breaths, three people rushed out of the formation. Forty riders rushed towards Sha Wanli and the others.

"What should I do, master? You should hurry up and make up your mind."

"Master, do you want me to wait?"

"Boss, this battle can't go on, why don't we just withdraw?"

As soon as Lu Nan left, all the bandits exploded, surrounding Sha Wanli, who was livid, were yelling nonsense, until Sha Wanli had one head and two big ones.

"That's enough, shut up and hand over to me!"

Seeing so many people rushing in the direction of the formation, the last trace of luck in Sha Wanli's heart was extinguished. He waved his hand angrily, yelled at him, and drove all the bandits away. However, he leaned close to the silent Huyan Tiexin, lowered his voice, and said: "Second brother, go to see His Highness the King of England immediately, and say that I have accepted both conditions, and I just ask His Highness to keep his promise. But if you can save my family, I will repay you with death."

"promise!"

Hearing that Sha Wanli had finally made up his mind, Huyan Tiexin finally relaxed a lot, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly answered, taking advantage of the chaos of the bandits and horses, quietly He quietly hid in the dense forest, and hurriedly ran to where Li Xian and the others were... the hour of the day was nearing the end, the night was already very deep, everything was silent, the surroundings were pitch black, only four raging bonfires were still crackling Groups of bandits held sharp knives and patrolled the gaps between the campfires, but their footsteps were extremely slow and their morale was low. It was not so much a warning as a false response, but it was Sha Wanli who The head of the family seemed to be more energetic, shouting loudly before and after running, showing a conscientious look, only the eyes that glanced at the dense forest from time to time showed a strong sense of tension and anxiety.

"Qu Qu..."

A crisp whistle suddenly sounded in the dark dense forest, the sound was not too loud, but Sha Wanli's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart beat like a deer, he hurriedly rushed to the bonfire beside him, He picked up a burning thick branch from the fire, and hurriedly danced it three times in the direction of the dense forest, which was regarded as sending out a response signal.

"Quick, start!"

As soon as he dropped the branch, Sha Wanli couldn't wait to give orders to several bandit leaders around him.

"Tang thief is here!"

"Tang thief is about to escape!"

"Kill, kill!"

As soon as Sha Wanli gave this order, his confidants who had already received his orders shouted wildly, one by one stomping their feet with all their strength, and beating the weapons in their hands, making chaotic noises. Seeing this, the other bandits everywhere coaxed It became chaotic, the sounds of running, shouting, and yelling were all intertwined together, creating a frenzied scene where a great war had already begun.

"Get on the horse, follow me, attack!"

Sun Quanfu led nearly [-] elites to recharge their batteries at a distance of about [-] zhang behind the bonfire. Hearing the commotion ahead, he dared not be negligent. With a loud cry, he jumped on his horse , shook the reins of the horse, and led a group of men to rush towards the first bonfire where the commotion started, trying to give Li Xian and others a head-on blow with the momentum of a cavalry charge.

"Attack!"

The sound of rumbling horseshoes had just sounded, and Li Xian, who had already led his troops in ambush not far from the fourth bonfire, had already noticed it keenly. The crowd rushed out of the dense forest, and rushed towards the campfire in silence.

"withdraw!"

It was Huyan Tiexin who was guarding the fourth bonfire. Seeing that Li Xian's troops had rushed out of the dense forest as promised, he did not dare to neglect him, so he waved his hand, let out a low cry, and led his troops to evacuate from the bonfire , got out of the way, and watched Li Xian and the others rush over.

"call out……"

As soon as he rushed to the bonfire, Li Xian squeezed his lips and whistled loudly. Not long after, he heard a faint sound of horseshoes resounding in the dark place on the west side, and soon he saw Zhaoye Lion Horse excitedly He led the group of horses to the front, and when he saw Li Xian's face, Zhaoye Lion Horse snorted excitedly, ran to Li Xian's side triumphantly, and arched his big head affectionately. chest.

"Get on the horse, retreat!"

Li Xian patted Zhaoye Lion Horse's forehead affectionately, but he didn't dare to delay a bit, so he shouted loudly, and jumped onto the horse's back. After leading a war horse, they jumped on the horse one after another, followed Li Xian with their whips roaring, rushed towards the dark grassland, and disappeared without a trace within a few breaths.

"Bastard, Sha Wanli, where is the Tang thief?"

Not to mention that Li Xian's troops had already taken advantage of the chaos to evacuate, but it was said that Sun Quanfu led several hundred elite cavalry to the first bonfire like a whirlwind of clouds. However, he suddenly realized that the so-called enemy attack was nothing, and immediately became angry. He rode his horse and rushed to Sha Wanli, reprimanding him unceremoniously.

"Sun Gong, that little thief led a surprise attack earlier, but fortunately I fought to the death with all my strength. I thought I was afraid, so I obediently retreated back to the forest. At this moment, I should be still in the forest."

Facing the unpredictable Sun Quanfu, Sha Wanli felt a sense of fear in his heart, so he dared not tell the truth, so he could only explain with a smile on his face.

"Fart! Er...huh?"

Sun Quanfu is a treacherous character who came out of the palace, how can he be so easy to deceive, just listening to Sha Wanli's words must be false, just about to open his mouth to curse, suddenly heard the first voice from tens of feet away A whistle came from the four piles of bonfires, his expression changed involuntarily, and he cursed angrily: "Damn, I fell into the trap of the little thief, chase them and kill them all!" Paying attention to Sha Wanli whose face changed wildly, he twisted his horse's head and led his troops to cover up the first bonfire in a hurry.
