"Who is it?" Just as Liu Mang and Kuai Ran were in an awkward situation, a shout came from outside the carriage.
"Hm?" Liu Mang frowned. He could tell that it was one of Jia Xu's spies.
Then, the sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard.
"What happened?" Kuai Ran asked Liu Mang. The people outside the carriage were all Liu Mang's men.
"I don't know either!" Liu Mang shook his head. He didn't know what was going on either. "They must have encountered thieves!" Liu Mang comforted Kuai Ran but Liu Mang's frown deepened. The sounds of fighting outside were getting louder and louder. If they were ordinary thieves, Jia Xu's men would have dealt with them long ago. Jia Xu's spies were handpicked from the army and had climbed out of piles of corpses.
Not to mention thieves, even generals wouldn't be able to deal with them.
"How dare you! Do you know who is inside the carriage?" Liu Mang couldn't take it anymore. "Brother Kuai, stay in the carriage. I'll go out and take a look!"
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang! It's dangerous outside. It's better to wait for the guards! " Kuai Ran was a scholar. Even if he had learned how to shoot a sword, he could only protect himself. Rather than going out, it was better for him to stay in the carriage and wait for the situation to develop. This was the outer city of Xiangyang, but it wasn't outside of Xiangyang. If something like this happened, the patrolling soldiers of Xiangyang would notice.
"Brother Kuai, just stay in the carriage!" Liu Mang was different from Kuai Ran. Liu Mang had the ability to protect himself. In other words, Liu Mang was stronger than Jia Xu's spies. It was useless for him to stay in the carriage.
Liu Mang came out of the carriage and saw this scene.
A burly man with a steel fork in his hand and a woman wrapped in bedding on his back was confronting Jia Xu's subordinates.
"Young Master! Jia Xu saw Liu Mang and asked in a low voice. He still called Liu Mang Young Master in front of Kuai Ran.
"Kuai Ran is in the carriage! Liu Mang said to Jia Xu. "What's the situation here? Who's that man?" Liu Mang asked as he pointed at the man who was confronting Jia Xu's spy.
"I don't know either!" Jia Xu shook his head. He had just gotten off the carriage.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Give me a carriage, a carriage!" The man kept repeating. The man's eyes were filled with killing intent as he roared at Liu Mang.
"My Lord, be careful. This man is very strong. My subordinates can't take him down at all. One of them was even injured!" Jia Xu only brought four people with him this time. All four of them were experienced soldiers. Each of them was at the level of a third-rate general. But even so, one of them was injured in a one-on-one battle. Now, they were being led around by the man. From this, one could see the man's strength.
"He's injured!" Liu Mang suddenly said.
"Hm?" Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang in confusion.
"I said he's injured. Otherwise, your subordinates wouldn't be his match!" Liu Mang was no longer the Liu Mang of the past. The current Liu Mang's eyes were still very sharp. Liu Mang was also a general. Naturally, he could see that although the man in front of him looked very lively, his vitality was dissipating. There was also a strong smell of blood. He was just relying on his willpower to hold on.
"Injured?" Jia Xu was also stunned. The man with the steel fork was actually an injured person? Jia Xu also smelled the smell of blood.
"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded. He looked at the man in front of him, his eyes slowly moved toward his waist and said "Look at his waist, isn't it bleeding?!" The sky had already begun to darken. Under the moonlight, one could see the general shape of the man's body. Blood was flowing from his waist. The clothes around his waist were wet.
What kind of battle did this man go through? Even his clothes were drenched with blood. The steel fork in the man's hand was obviously used by commoners to drive away wolves. The man's appearance also didn't look like an ordinary Han person.
"Barbarian?" Jia Xu's eyes were also very sharp. He could see that this man was different from ordinary Han people.
"Barbarian?!" Liu Mang didn't know when he offended a barbarian. This barbarian was obviously a martial arts expert. What did he want to do by stopping Liu Mang halfway?
"My lord, does this barbarian have any enmity with us? He seems to want to escape?!" Jia Xu said to Liu Mang.
"Escape?!" Liu Mang just remembered that the barbarian wanted the carriage. Wasn't it to escape?
"My lord, look at the woman behind him!" Jia Xu pointed at the woman on the barbarian's back. Although she was wrapped in a blanket, one could still see the woman's neck. She was indeed a woman.
"How dare you enter Xiangyang City and kidnap women!" Liu Mang was really angry. This barbarian really didn't care about his life! Did he not put the Han people in his eyes? He actually kidnapped women in Xiangyang City. The traitor behind the barbarian had obviously fallen into a coma.
"I want a carriage, a carriage!" The barbarian became more and more violent.
"A carriage? Hmph, you will stay here today!" Liu Mang stretched out his hand. "Sword!" A guard at the side pulled out a long sword from the carriage and handed it to Liu Mang. "Liu Biao, I helped you to stabilize the security of Xiangyang City. I don't know how you will thank me!"
"My lord, it's better to avoid trouble!" Jia Xu stopped Liu Mang. If they fought here, they wouldn't be able to take down this barbarian in a short time. Liu Mang didn't bring Zhou Cang and Guan Hai with him. Both of them were still in the palace. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if they took down this barbarian. If they were delayed, they would definitely alert the guards in Xiangyang City. If they were surrounded, then Liu Mang's identity would be exposed.
"Then what do we do now?" Liu Mang frowned and put away his sword. He really couldn't expose his identity.
"Let this barbarian know the difficulty and retreat!" Jia Xu wanted to let this barbarian know the difficulty and retreat. He didn't want to complicate matters. Their current task was to quickly reach Kuai Liang's palace.
"Okay! Let your men force him to retreat! " Liu Mang also put away his sword. Jia Xu's men could force this barbarian to retreat. Although Jia Xu's four third-rate generals weren't as strong as this barbarian, he was injured and also needed to protect the woman behind him. Therefore, Jia Xu only needed to order the four generals to attack the woman behind the barbarian.
