Chapter 25: Cowards
In the dense woods, with the sound of a drum, the families who had surrounded the whole forest made a noise in unison, let go of the hounds, and immediately alarmed many roe deer, pheasants and hares, and rushed in one direction in a panic.
In a cleared clearing, Xu Hao, who was standing behind his brothers, held a straw stick in his mouth, watching the brothers draw their bows and arrows and shoot at the animals fleeing this way.
Momiji and Green Bamboo led the women's army to wait on one side, opening two layers of large nets, and there were many traps and traps buried in the grass.
From time to time, small animals were shot to the ground, their limbs kept struggling and twitching, and the cruel scene made Xu Hao not in the mood to look any further, so he turned over and looked into the distance.
Xu Song pulled the bow and shot the arrow, and at the same time did not forget to joke: "Third brother, don't go!" Is it scared? ”
Xu Hao said honestly: "It's a little unbearable. ”
"What's so unbearable? Pure woman's kindness. Xu Jingqin snorted coldly, let go of his hand, and with a whoosh, an arrow knocked an elk to the ground.
Lu Zhu couldn't help but whisper: "Third brother is really a coward. "You're the coward." Momiji replied unhappily.
Suddenly, a gong sounded, and a group of young men on horseback rushed out of the oblique spurs, shooting at the animals in all directions.
Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly furious, and shouted at the visitor: "Where are the wild people who don't know whether they are dead or alive, get out of here." ”
The young boys were not annoyed when they heard this, and hahadaxiao got up. Xu Jingqin looked at everyone who knew him, and explained to the angry Zhu Gaoxu with a smile: "Brothers are angry, they are all their own brothers." ”
Most of these young people, Zhu Gaoxu, had actually seen them, and he deliberately turned his head proudly, and snorted coldly: "Who is a brother with them." With that, he rode his horse to the side.
Xu Jingqin smiled and let him go, smiling and scolding a few words at a young man. Xu Hao watched coldly from the sidelines, seeing that both sides almost knew each other, it seemed that they were all the sons of nobles in the capital, and he was a dwarf family, and he didn't bother to go over to meet, watching the two sides laugh and joke with each other on horses.
"Yo, there's a bunch of women here? Who is so amorous and brought out all the favored concubines? Several young men rode up to the women with smiling eyes.
Momiji saw that the prey was intercepted halfway, and he was not angry, so he said unhappily: "Get out, guy who doesn't have long eyes." ”
One of the young men with pockmarked faces pointed to the red leaves and laughed, "What a beautiful embryo, how old are you?" Which brother's heart is the little lady? ”
Without waiting for Hongye to speak again, Luzhu scolded: "Where did you come from? There are mothers who don't have mothers to teach bastards. ”
At this time, Xu Wen had already ridden over, and hurriedly smiled: "These are two sisters." Red leaves and green bamboo, this is the Cao Gongzi of the Jingchuan Hou family, you must not be rude. ”
"Oops, it turned out to be Sister Ling, it's really rude." Cao Gongzi didn't care at all, arched his hand casually, and asked with a smile: "Sister Ling is cute and interesting, I was amazed when I saw it today, but do you have a mother-in-law?" ”
"Too young, not married yet." Xu Wen said.
Cao Gongzi's gaze repeatedly swirled on the faces of Red Leaves and Green Bamboo, and said with a smile: "Please forgive me for the two girls, I was rude first." It's not that I deliberately abruptly beauties, just because Brother Jinglong is planning to take a concubine recently, let's help ask around about the beauty who is both talented and beautiful, and I have the heart to be a matchmaker. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone nearby scolding: "Get out of your mother's matchmaker." Then came a sharp arrow with the wind, which shot right into the horse's neck.
"What are you doing in a daze, call me."
It was Xu Hao who shot the cold arrow, threw the short bow, ran over quickly with the Fang Tian painting halberd, and slashed at the crumbling horse. Poof, blood splattered immediately. Before Cao Gongzi could react, he fell to the grass with the injured mounts, and at this moment, the surrounding women's army woke up like a dream, screaming and tearing and scratching.
"Stop." Xu Wen was so frightened that his soul was gone.
The others only reacted at this moment, but before everyone could make a move, they heard Zhu Gaoxu's eyes glow fiercely, and a tiger roared, "Kill this king hard, who dares to stop, cut!" ”
Hula, the guards of the Yan Wangfu descended the mountain like a group of fierce tigers, killing the panicked sons, and a few young people who reacted quickly turned their horses and left, shouting: "Hurry up." ”
There are also young people who are not afraid of death and shout sharply at their subordinates: "Call me." ”
In this way, a melee began, although the brothers of the Xu family smiled bitterly and did not participate in the battle, and they still spoke from time to time, but in the end they could not stop the almost one-sided group fight.
Both sides of the war had a tacit understanding that they did not touch the real guy, and in fact, no one dared. In the chaos, Zhu Gaoxu didn't look at his age, but he seemed to be a tiger entering a flock when he fought, and the opponents he fought everywhere he went turned on his horse, but he was still the most unscrupulous, and he was the most ferocious.
Xu Hao followed Zhu Gaochu silently to escort him, kicked a guy who pounced on him and kicked him away, and Zhu Gaoxu, who was killing the rise, immediately shouted: "Good brother." ”
Because of the suddenness of the incident, the young side was unable to organize an effective counterattack at all, and was passively beaten everywhere from the beginning. On the other hand, the guards of the Yan Wangfu here have long been accustomed to Zhu Gaoxu's virtue of doing it without saying a word, and they are well-trained elites, and the two sides make judgments.
Soon the grass was full of people, and the others ran and fled, and it was really chickens and dogs jumping. Zhu Gaoxu, who was addicted, accepted it when he saw it, put his hands away and raised his head to daxiao, and the others gradually stopped fighting.
Xu Hao clapped his hands as if he was fine, and said lightly: "Cheap." ”
"Haha, that's a good point." Zhu Gaoxu put his arm around Xu Hao's shoulders and gave a thumbs up, "This king recognizes you as a cousin, a real man." ”
These two were talking unscrupulously, and when the other party heard that this blackest kid turned out to be a prince? Immediately, no one dared to speak.
The two sides began to clean up the mess, the most tragic person was Cao Gongzi, who had been destroyed by a group of women, his face was covered with blood marks from his nails, and he didn't know how many feet he had been kicked on, and he was dying and was helped up by his companions, and said hatefully when he left: "This revenge is not a gentleman, there is a kind of waiting for the master." ”
Zhu Gaoxu said disdainfully: "Wait, wait, Xu Jiajiao, if you are a hero, you will not be gone." ”
"Okay, that's it." After Cao Gongzi gritted his teeth and finished speaking, he was lifted up by the family and got on the horse, and hurried away with a group of wounded soldiers and defeated generals.
Xu Jingqin and several other brothers came over one after another, and no one thought about accusing the perpetrator Xu Hao at this moment, after all, they are all young people with strong blood, since Liang Zi has been married, and they have made an appointment to fight again, right and wrong are no longer important.
The world is big, and the face of his family is the largest, and the Xu family immediately became active with the same enemy.
Xu Jingzhi was the calmest among the brothers, and said: "They have been humiliated, they will definitely find Brother Jinglong to come forward, six or seven Hou Bo's families plus a group of relatives and friends, the manpower is bound to be above us, and we have to deal with it carefully." ”
"A group of rabble, let them see the ability of the Yan Wangfu." Zhu Gaoxu's expression was full of indifference.
Xu Jingqin frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, just now we took a surprise by surprise, and there are many people on our side." If the two armies really face each other, the victory or defeat will be five or five at most. Moreover, Li Jinglong is familiar with military books, and he will definitely use the knowledge of battle formations to deal with us and others, and I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck. ”
Zhu Gaoxu glared and shouted, "Could it be that Li Jinglong can still be stronger than his father, the late King of Qiyang?" Anyway, you are all descendants of the Xu family, why are you afraid of him? ”
This sentence immediately aroused the arrogance of the Xu brothers, and they immediately discussed a few words, and instructed the family to pack up their prey and return the same way.
On the way, Luzhu said excitedly to Hongye: "I didn't expect the third brother to be honest on weekdays, but when it came to the end, he was the first to come forward, his courage is really great!" And it was really majestic, and he hacked the horse to death with a single sword, which really scared me to death at the time. I really envy you for having such a haode brother. ”
Momiji frowned lightly, as if he was also a little frightened, and patted his chest in fear, his eyes were red: "For me, my brother is for me." ”
Lu Zhu sighed in his heart and looked at his own brother Xu Song. I still remember that in the previous fight, after the third brother rushed over and cut down the horse, he pulled the red leaves with one hand and himself with the other, and only rushed back until he was sent to the rear, and his own brother hid aside from beginning to end and didn't even say a word of comfort.
Who is the coward? Needless to say, the answer is not to be said!
