Zhu Huichan was stunned for a moment, this Bull Demon King's father died at the hands of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers represent the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's son of heaven!

As the saying goes: The revenge of killing her father is not shared, she and Ah Hong are the princess and prince of the dynasty, the children of the emperor, and it can also be said that the enemy of the bull demon king, will he be angry for a moment and immediately kill himself and his younger brother to take revenge?

Zhu Huichan looked at Li Hu's eyes again, with obvious fear.

Fortunately, Li Hu didn't seem to have the intention of drawing his knife and making a move, so he only said coldly: "So you should know that even if the child is hungry for a few days without food, he will not die, now go and call your brother, and we will set off immediately!"

Although the Bull Demon King did not kill people immediately, it was still very terrifying in Zhu Huichan's eyes. So this time on the road, she didn't dare to speak out and collide with Li Hu, even if she was tired, she gritted her teeth and persevered, and supported each other with Zhu Cihong to move forward.

After walking more than ten miles, the three of them finally came across a market town.

The market town is not large, there is only one street, more than 100 households, and there are five or six shops scattered on the street, one of which has a sign of a carriage and horse shop.

"Have you ever learned to ride a horse?" asked Li Hu.

"Of course. Zhu Huichan replied that she not only knew how to ride a horse, but also her riding skills were not weak in the palace, and she had participated in several hunts out of the city.

"What about your brother?" asked Li Hu again.

Zhu Huichan frowned and said, "Ah Hong won't." ”

Li Hu said: "Let's buy two horses, you take your brother to ride one." ”

Zhu Huichan nodded again and again, as long as there is a horse to ride and no longer need to walk, she will naturally not object to the arrangement of the Bull Demon King.

In such a small market town, there must not be many people who hire horses to buy horses, and the carriage and horse shop is very simple, with only three horses in total, and none of them are good horses.

Li Hu selected two of them, and did not object to the high price of thirty taels and one horses, but only told the man to prepare the stirrups immediately, and took out a golden hairpin from his bosom and threw it on the counter with a "poof".

Seeing that the big customer came, the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop was overjoyed, and this golden hairpin was full of color and meticulous carving, and it was worth at least 100 taels of silver.

Although the shopkeeper's eyesight is good, he only says that the Bodhisattva blesses the windfall from heaven today, but he does not know the origin of this hairpin, and the government will track it down in the future, which is enough to bring him a catastrophe of death.

The market town was too small and there were no officers and troops stationed there, so Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cihong followed Li Hu into the town to buy horses, and they had to extinguish the idea of asking for help. The Bull Demon King's martial arts are very high, and he is extremely vicious, Zhu Huichan already knows that it is impossible for the ordinary people in the town to save them, and if they anger this wicked person, the lives of the sisters and brothers will not be guaranteed.

Riding out of town, the trio continued eastward.

With a mount, of course, it is much faster than walking, and at dusk, the two horsemen and three people galloped out of more than 50 miles, which is already a hundred miles away from the capital, that is, the Jinyi Guard and the official army sent a large number of horse teams to search, under the premise of unknown direction, it must be difficult to chase so far for a while.

The path led by Li Hu was not an official road, as it became farther and farther away from the capital, the surrounding area was also desolate, and at the beginning it passed by a few villages and towns, and after galloping out for dozens of miles, it was difficult to see the villages and towns, even the fields and farmhouses.

The sky was getting darker, Zhu Huichan couldn't help but be a little scared in her heart, and her stomach was even hungrier, but Li Hu was silent with a cold face all the way, but she didn't dare to speak casually.

"Hey, how long are you going to go, where are you going to take us?" arrived at Zuihou, Zhu Huichan finally couldn't help but ask.

"As I said, you don't know where you're going. Li Hu said.

"What is this? I don't know if you can tell me too!" Regarding Li Hu's answer, Zhu Huichan was extremely dissatisfied.

Li Hu turned his head to look at her and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, it's a place where there is no royal law, called Hu Manzhai." ”

"Hu Manzhai?" Zhu Huichan had indeed never heard of this name, but she pouted and said: "The world is the world of my Ming Dynasty, and there is royal land everywhere, how can there be any place without a king's law!"

Li Hu pouted and said, "Yes, what is the royal land? In my opinion, the place in this world where there is no royal law is better than all those that have the royal law!"

This sentence alone is already a great rebellion, and it is enough to kill the head. Zhu Huichan wanted to argue with reason, but she knew that this Bull Demon King was a lawless guy, and reasoning with him was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, so she kept silent.

At this time, I suddenly heard Li Hu say: "Stop!"

Although Zhu Huichan didn't know what was happening, she still grabbed the reins and stopped the horse.

Li Hu's gaze swept over the trees on the side of the road in front of him, and shouted: "Since you are here, why do you want to hide, come out!"

In Zhu Huichan's opinion, the forest was nothing unusual, but only a "rustling" sound was heard, and more than a dozen figures came out of it and stopped on the road ahead.

These people were all dressed in strong suits, some of them were wearing leather armor, and they all carried steel knives in their hands, and they looked very vicious. The single knife used by ordinary people in the rivers and lakes is only three feet long, but the knives of these people are all more than four feet long, with two blood grooves on the side blade, and the head of the knife is divided into two tooth tips, which are very peculiar in shape.

If Zhu Huichan had a wider range of knowledge, he would know that this kind of knife was a commonly used weapon for the Later Jin Jurchens. The Jurchens were good at fighting on horseback, with longer blades and greater force in cavalry battles, while the two tips were convenient for stabbing enemies when charging on horseback.

At the head was a stout man dressed in brocade robes, with a short dark red beard on his face, a lion's nose and ringed eyes, a shiny forehead without hair, and a long braid at the back of his head. This big man has no knife in his hand, and there is a thick-bladed axe with an exaggerated shape stuck in his back, which looks like it weighs at least eighty or ninety pounds, even if it is not a hundred catties.

The red-bearded man looked at Li Hu with squint, and said, "You Nanban boy is clever, you know that the masters are waiting for you in the woods." Okay, don't say that the uncle didn't give you a way to live, leave the valuable jewelry and the woman on your body, and the uncle will spare your life and not kill you!"

The man spoke Chinese, but with a strange accent, apparently not his native language.

Li Hu looked at the big man, suddenly smiled coldly, and said: "I thought that the ambush was an internal master from Dongchang Jinyiwei, or a killer of 'Heavenly Punishment', but I didn't expect it to be just a few thieves who cut the path and robbed the road!"

The big man glared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Uncle Ben is a heroic warrior from the northern country, and the 'Tuoshan Beast' Wanyan Lei is me, and you dare to call me a thief, you are impatient!"

Li Hu said: "The mountain beast turned out to be not a thief, but an animal. ”

This Wanyan Lei is not Han, he only knows Chinese roughly, but he can also hear the ridicule in Li Hu's words, and he can't help but be furious, and shout: "The kid is looking for death! Everyone went up together and cut him!"

More than ten men in military uniforms responded in unison, each with a long knife to kill, but Li Hu rushed forward and rushed to the front.

The figures flickered, the cold blades flew, accompanied by the sound of sparks splashing and the sound of gold and iron, and the two sides were already in a scuffle.

These people are no ordinary thieves.

Although the short blade is not the most competent weapon of Li Hu, and it is inconvenient to use it on a horse, but with his martial arts, if he only deals with a dozen or so ordinary underworld minions, he can kill them all by just one face, but these more than ten men are not only strong and long, but also cooperate with each other during the siege, and they seem to have formed a combined military formation.

In a few breaths, Li Hu rushed left and right between more than ten swordsmen, but he did not cut down a single person, and the two sides were already entangled together.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Huichan's heart was pounding. This red-bearded man known as the "Tuoshan Beast" is obviously not a good one, but now that the monsters on both sides of them have fought the beasts, they have entangled the Bull Demon King, and it is the best opportunity for her and her younger brother to escape!

Thinking of this, Zhu Huichan hesitated, immediately lifted the reins and turned the horse's head, and galloped back towards the way he came!

Zhu Huichan's riding skills are not weak, and she was able to play at this critical moment of escaping. Even with her younger brother Zhu Cihong on two horses, she still beat the horse like flying, and ran out of a hundred zhang away in a blink of an eye, and Li Hu was surrounded by those swordsmen, and it was really too late to get out and chase after her.

galloped for another two or three miles, and just as Zhu Huichan was secretly rejoicing in her heart, she suddenly heard Zhu Cihong exclaim: "It's not good! There's a horse chasing after you!"

Zhu Huichan went back to look, and sure enough, she saw a black horse galloping towards this side, but it was not Li Hu who was riding on the horse, but the big man with a red beard and long braids, the "Tuoshan Beast" Wanyan Lei!

This "Tuoshan Beast" is a robber, and if it falls into his hands, I am afraid that it will be worse than being caught by the Bull Demon King! Zhu Huichan was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly slapped the horse's buttocks, urging the mount to speed up and run.

The two horsemen chased and fled, and soon galloped several miles away.

At this time, the sun had set, the sky was even darker, and the distance between the two riders was approaching to twenty zhang, even if the light was dim, Zhu Huichan could see clearly under Yan Lei's red short beard when she turned around, with a fierce expression.

Although the speed of riding a horse has a lot to do with riding skills, it is more important to know the quality of the horse itself. Wan Yanlei rode a black war horse that was quite a divine horse, but Zhu Huichan's mount was an inferior horse that Li Hu had bought in the carriage and horse shop in the small market town before, and one horse and two horses affected the speed even more, and it was not the opponent of the dark horse.

ran for another while, but heard Wan Yanlei behind him shouting loudly: "That little girl, don't run away again! If you stop and surrender, I won't kill you, otherwise I will chase you and kill you!"

"Ah Chan, we can't escape, it's better to surrender, he has promised not to kill us. Zhu Cihong, who was sitting behind him, turned pale and said in a trembling voice.
