The Khitan people live in a difficult environment, and they are not engaged in farming, and their living materials are completely dependent on the income from hunting in exchange, which has developed the fierce and fierce character of the Khitan people, and such things as plundering are simply normal in their eyes.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's request to the cave brother agreed without even thinking about it, this is a windfall, for the Khitan warriors, it is to kill a few fewer people and leave a few more alive when robbing, and for the Khitan clan, this can get the salt that they rely on for survival.

In Brother Gu's view, this is a win-win situation, one of the two sides is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, both the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan can get the benefits they want, and even those Goguryeo slaves did not suffer, at least they survived the robbery.

And even in Goguryeo, their standard of living does not seem to be necessarily better than being a slave in the Tang Dynasty.

At noon, Li Chengqian, who had reached a consensus with Brother Cave, left the post house and prepared to go to Cheng Yanjin to go to the eldest grandson Wuji's house.

"Chenghu, how fast do you think our carriage can run?" When there were still about two streets away from Chongrenfang, Li Chengqian suddenly asked like Wang Chenghu.

"I don't know, I haven't tried." Wang Chenghu shook his head and said innocently, not noticing the look of vigilance flashing in Li Chengqian's eyes.

"Then let's try it." As he spoke, the long knife on Wang Chenghu's waist had already been pulled out by Li Chengqian, and without thinking about it, he stabbed it into the butt of a horse pulling a cart in front.

"Your Royal Highness, ...... you" Wang Chenghu's frightened face turned white, I don't know what Li Chengqian is crazy about, this can be Chang'an City, the horses are likely to have very terrible consequences if they are stimulated like this.

But soon Wang Chenghu couldn't care so much, the horse was injured and let out a tragic whine, and at the moment when the two horses rushed out, a series of screams rose and fell with each other.

"Hold on, lie down ......" This was Li Chengqian's shout, because he was beside him, so Wang Chenghu heard it very clearly.

"They've found out, do it." This is an unfamiliar voice, Wang Chenghu has never heard it, but because of the suddenness of the incident, Wang Chenghu didn't even understand what 'hands' meant for a while.

"Kill the horse, you can't let them run."

"Catch up......"

Several voices sounded almost at the same time, and Wang Chenghu only had time to reflexively obey Li Chengqian's order to grab the wheel, lower his body, and then heard a series of crossbow arrows shooting into the wood.

Kill?! It wasn't until the crossbow bolt entered the wood that Wang Chenghu completely reacted to what was happening.

However, it was too late for him to continue thinking, and the sound of arrows entering the flesh continued to sound, and the whimpering of the horses became more and more miserable.

"What the hell are you doing out there, get in." Li Chengqian had already shrunk into a ball with his head in the carriage, and when he saw Wang Chenghu still lying on the wheels in a daze, he couldn't help but shout and scold.

Although the carriage is made of wood, it can at least block the view of the raiders, and then there is the gamble, although it is a bit cowardly, but it is much better than being a target outside.

However, Wang Chenghu shook his head stubbornly, and found the horizontal knife thrown aside by Li Chengqian, and said to Li Chengqian after picking it up: "Your Highness is hiding for a long time, as long as the minister does not die, don't come out." ”

Wang Chenghu's responsibility is to guard, so he did not listen to Li Chengqian's arrangement, the surrounding noise and chaos have proved that they fell into the encirclement of the passengers, if he also entered the carriage, it would basically be equivalent to handing it over to the passengers.

Li Chengqian's heart was about to pump together at this time, and a large amount of adrenaline was constantly secreted, making his heartbeat almost twice as fast as usual.

The previous life and this life are added together, except for a group fight with the neighboring class when I was in college, and then the last time I hunted in the suburbs of Beijing.

However, the above two experiences are completely incomparable with the present, and the most used in group fights is to use some bricks to fold stools or something, and there were only two thieves in the last killing, but there were hundreds of guards.

But now? Except for Wang Chenghu's fool, there is no second guard by his side, and the grandsons who pretend to be beggars who usually follow him don't know where they have gone.

Li Chengqian did die once, and he knew that he could go to the underworld after he died, and maybe he could be reincarnated, but this did not mean that he was not afraid of death.

But the moment the crossbow bolt passed through the window and grazed his nose and shot into the floor of the carriage, he still felt fear, the fear of death.

In any case, Li Chengqian was just an otaku in his last life, an otaku who had fought once in a group fight but was defeated, how could he not be afraid of this kind of killing of countless people.

If it weren't for the fact that before the attack was launched, Li Chengqian found that someone was following him through the shadows cast on the ground by the surrounding houses, but I was afraid that at this time, Wang Chenghu and Wang Chenghu would have become hedgehogs.

The bumps in the carriage were getting lighter and lighter, and the shouts of killing around him were getting closer and closer, and Li Chengqian understood that the two horses should be almost hanging, and soon they would have to meet the group of thieves.

Now it seems that it is no longer interesting to continue to think about life and death, looking at the means that the other party even uses a strong crossbow, it is clear that he does not want to return to the palace alive, so as long as he is caught up, it must be a dead end, whether it is him or Wang Chenghu, there is no way to live.

"Chenghu, are you dead?" Thinking of this, Li Chengqian asked in a trembling voice.

"Your Highness, rest assured, Chenghu still has strength." Wang Chenghu's voice was a little weak, and it seemed that he should have been injured, but Li Chengqian couldn't see it because of the obstruction of the car.

But now is not the time to think about this, Li Chengqian didn't think about it and then asked: "Is there any cloud piercing arrow from the last time?" ”

"It's gone, it's too inconvenient to carry, and it's all thrown in the palace." Wang Chenghu's big head poked in from outside the carriage, glanced Li Chengqian up and down, and saw that he was not injured, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"How many people are out there?" The back compartment behind the carriage was sealed, and he couldn't see the outside at all, so Li Chengqian wanted to know the situation outside.

"I don't know, there are about a dozen, and now they've been left behind." Wang Chenghu turned around and stabbed the horse's buttocks twice, but the speed did not change at all, and it seemed that the two horses had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and it seemed that they would die at any time.

"Your Highness, the thieves have already caught up, and we will soon be caught up by them if we continue like this, so it is better to let the ministers stay, and you continue to run forward......" Wang Chenghu hesitated a little, although he was naïve, he was not stupid, and he knew that staying was death.

But what else can be done about it? Drag Li Chengqian to die together? What's the point?
