The long roar shook the sky. The knights who were riding their horses turned their heads to look, and their faces all changed.
Two fast horses galloped along the official road, like arrows released from a bow. Within a thousand feet of their galloping, there was a cloud of dust that had not yet dispersed, like two horned dragons rolling along the ground.
The knights were protecting the carriage, so it was impossible for them to outrun the two pursuers. The knights immediately turned their horses around, pulled out their weapons, and faced them with a murderous aura. On the official road, there were some farmers who were entering the city. When they suddenly saw two groups of people fighting openly, they were so scared that they immediately hid in the countryside and fled.
"Kill!"
Yang Fan arrived first on his fast horse. With a loud shout, he charged into the enemy group alone with his saber. Tin Aino tightly held onto his ponytail and followed closely behind.
Four long sabers stabbed towards Yang Fan's neck, chest, and waist like lightning. The attack was incomparably vicious, and the angle was crafty and sinister. They were not knights who were used to charging on the battlefield. To them, horses were only a means of transportation. They were good at fighting on foot. Although they were riding on horses, all of their attacks were still suitable for fighting on foot.
Therefore, when they hastily used this encirclement tactic, they had miscalculated three points: First, Yang Fan's strength when he borrowed the horse's momentum; Second, he could ride on the horse, but he could also jump off the horse's back; this sudden acceleration was immeasurable; Third, their foot encirclement attack could only form a single attack on the horse.
It was not that they could not attack again if they missed their first move, but they could not use encirclement tactics again. This was because the horses under them could not be as nimble as their legs. In this way, as long as they missed their attack, the encirclement would become a plate of loose sand, and they would fight separately.
Although this was only a matter of a moment, it was enough to be fatal.
When Yang Fan was about to crash into their encirclement, there was still a distance of ten feet between them. He gave a light shout and pulled the reins. The fine horse neighed, kicked its hooves, and suddenly leaped up. One man and one horse were no longer charging, but colliding with the four people!
Because of the warhorse's leap, it suddenly rose by more than two feet, causing two of the four long sabers aimed at Yang Fan to miss. Yang Fan galloped forward on the horse. He swung his saber and turned it into a waterfall, knocking away the two long sabers. Then he swung his saber and rushed out of the encirclement of the four people. At the same time, his saber cut through the waist of a knight, and the man was cut in half. The upper half of his body fell to the dust, and the lower half of his body was firmly fixed on the belly of the horse.
The Tian Ai Nu was not going to let go of this opportunity. She and Yang Fan followed closely behind. When she saw the situation, she raised both of her hands and a flying dagger flew out from each of her hands. The flying daggers hit the temples of the two knights who had missed their target. She then held her sword in her hand and lifted her butt off the saddle. She then stretched out her arm and stabbed the throat of the fourth knight.
If the four knights fought face to face, they would not be defeated so quickly, but they misjudged Yang Fan and Ah Nu. Ah Nu's momentum was so fast that if Yang Fan suddenly reined in his horse, the two of them would collide head-on. But she just happened to stay close to him, allowing her to seize this fleeting opportunity.
At this moment, Ah Nu wanted to fight even harder than Yang Fan!
For so many years, she only opened her closed heart for one person. The good impression she slowly accumulated with Yang Fan was just the foundation. What really broke the ice in her heart was the experience of life and death with Yang Fan. As soon as this embankment was broken, the feelings she had suppressed for many years rushed out and could no longer be stopped.
She knew that Yang Fan also loved her deeply, but although this feeling was burning, it was not as deep as Xiao Man and Yang Fan who had been through thick and thin together since childhood, and more than ten years of missing each other. In her heart, she always felt that Yang Fan had some differences in his love, and he must love Xiao Man the most.
Xiao Man was not only kidnapped, but she was also pregnant, which made Ah Nu have a heavy psychological pressure. She was worried that something bad would happen to Xiao Man or the child. Although Yang Fan said that this matter had nothing to do with her, she could not get rid of herself. She always felt that she had a part in it. If she could not save Xiao Man safely, she would not have the courage to continue to be with Yang Fan.
Because of this, Ah Nu was now more desperate than Yang Fan.
The two of them killed four knights in a face-to-face encounter, and there were still three more, plus a coachman driving the carriage. Maybe there was also a big man hiding in the carriage waiting for orders.
Yang Fan rushed and cut the carriage first. He dodged a knight and cut the shaft on one side of the carriage with a knife. The carriage could not move. At this time, Ah Nu had rushed to him, and the two of them raised their knives and fought again …
It was a fierce battle. The wound on Yang Fan's abdomen that was cut last night had already begun to rupture and bleed. In the chaotic battle, his shoulder was cut again. Fortunately, he diverted the force in time, otherwise his arm would have been cut off.
When the remaining enemies were beheaded one after another, Yang Fan's body was covered with the enemy's blood and his own blood. He was simply a bloody man, but he did not feel it. He just looked at the carriage that was cut open and shouted desperately, "Not here! Not here either! "
There was only a big man hiding in the carriage. At this time, his body was hanging on the broken shaft, and blood was flowing!
Ah Nu hurriedly jumped to the ground, tore off a piece of cloth and hurriedly wrapped his wound. Ah Nu's eyes were filled with tears. She was also desperate. Young Master Jiang divided his forces into four groups, and it was a gamble to chase which group he chased. Now that she did not win the gamble, could she catch the remaining two carriages in time?
"Let's … continue to chase!"
Yang Fan grabbed Ah Nu's hand with an erratic fear in his eyes. Now he could only continue to chase. No matter whether he was desperate or not, as long as there was something to do, he would not collapse. Ah Nu did not speak, just bit her lips and nodded hard.
She was raised by Young Master Jiang. Even though she was forced by him to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, she still felt some fear and guilt towards him. It was only now that she had resolutely bid farewell to her past self. The last bit of shadow that Young Master Jiang had left in her heart had disappeared. From now on, she would only live for herself and her loved ones.
If anything happened to Xiao Man, she would not hesitate to accompany Yang Fan to chase Young Master all over the world, and waved the knife in her hand to Young Master without hesitation!
…
Gongsun Lanzhi stood on the big maple tree, staring at the Lu family without blinking.
The red maple leaves were her best cover, and Gongsun Lanzhi, who was dressed in red, stood among them, perfectly hiding herself.
In fact, she did not need to be so focused at the moment. Several aristocratic family heads and those who tried to put Young Master Jiang under house arrest in the name of the banquet were still in the Lu family. Even if Young Master Lu really came to repair the plank road, it was impossible for him to appear now. If the Lu family had some kind of secret room, he could only wait for these people to leave before coming out. But Gongsun Lanzhi's eyes were still wide open.
What if … the Lu family's secret passage led to the outside?
Although the Lu Bin residence was huge, and the main residence was in the center of the back courtyard, the Lu family would not have thought that there would be such a day, and it was impossible for them to dig a long tunnel all the way to the outside of the residence. But even if there was only a small chance, Gongsun Lanzhi did not want to neglect it because of her carelessness.
She did not notice that on another tree not far away, there was a masked person also staring at her.
That was her mother, Aunt Pei.
Aunt Pei was afraid of her husband's anger and had no choice but to follow. When Gongsun Lanzhi returned to the vicinity of the Lu family for another mission, she naturally did not hesitate to stay behind. She did not want anything to happen to her daughter.
In her heart, her family was the most important, followed by her maiden family. On this point, she and Yang Fan were the same. But Yang Fan was poor, but he cared about himself, and when he was rich, he helped the world. As long as he had the ability, he was willing to do something for the world. And there was only one standard for Aunt Pei to do things: whether it was in line with her interests, whether it was in line with the interests of her family? For this, she could sacrifice the interests of others.
Just like how she, with her large family business, did not care about having an extra servant in the house to eat. Back then, she coldly rejected Yang Fan, forcing Xiaoman and her Elder Brother to separate. She … was not a good person! To be exact, she was a qualified descendant of an aristocratic family!
Fortunately, not all descendants of aristocratic families were like her, putting interests above everything else, at least Ning Ke was not.
Ning Ke's carriage was rushing along Vermilion Bird Avenue to the Illustrious Virtue Gate. Dugu Yu had already rushed to the Illustrious Virtue Gate with his knights …
A carriage escorted by seven or eight knights had already left the city gate in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
There were three people in the carriage: Xiaoman, the child, and Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan was seriously injured. He leaned against the carriage with a thick cushion on his back, trying to reduce the impact of the carriage on his wound as much as possible.
After coming out of the Lu family mansion, he did not say anything other than ordering the carriage to drive. Until they were out of Chang 'an City, he rolled up the bamboo curtain to let the sunlight and autumn wind through the window.
Lu Boyan's face was pale, and even the accumulated wrinkles on his face could not hide it.
He quietly looked at Xiaoman, and then turned his eyes to the child in her arms.
The bumpy journey was the best lullaby. The child fell asleep, lying in his mother's arms, dreaming sweetly.
Xiaoman let the child's head rest in her arms, so that he could sleep more comfortably. When the curtain was opened, she wrapped the swaddling cloth tighter, covering the child's forehead to prevent him from being exposed to the wind.
When the bright sunlight shone on the child's delicate face, she would stare at the child's face obsessively. When the sleeping child occasionally frowned, she would also subconsciously frown. When the child occasionally opened his delicate mouth, she would also involuntarily move her lips.
That was the feeling of a mother and child's heart being connected.
She knew that now that they were out of the city, the possibility of her and the child being saved was getting smaller and smaller. She did not know what would happen next, whether she would see her husband one day, or even … this child who had just been born into the world had just bathed in the bright sunlight, whether he would see his father, and whether he would have the chance to welcome the sun tomorrow.
Therefore, she cherished every inch of time with the child.
Lu Boyan silently stared at the child, and after a long while, gently turned his head, sighed, and raised his eyebrows to look out of the window. Suddenly, he called out, "Guards!"
A knight in a green suit bent his head down from the window. Lu Boyan pointed to a small path in front of him and said, "Turn there!"
The knight in green looked up and raised his doubts, "Elder Lu, that road is rugged and too difficult to walk!"
Lu Boyan lightly said, "That's why we have to go!"
The knight did not dare to refute and loudly gave the order. Lu Boyan turned his head and smiled at Xiaoman, "Hold the child more steadily, the road ahead will be more difficult."
Xiaoman ignored him, but her hands quietly held the child a little more firmly. The child was sleeping soundly, and she liked to see the child sleep sweetly.
Lu Boyan moved the cushion closer to his waist, looked at Xiaoman, and suddenly said with a smile, "Your Langjun is the successor of Curly Beard, Third Master Zhang, right?"
Of course, Yang Fan's experience would not be hidden from Xiaoman, but Xiaoman had never thought that there would be others who knew about Yang Fan's background, especially an enemy. She suddenly raised her head, her face full of surprise.
Lu Boyan laughed hoarsely, and there was a kind of serenity on his face, as if he was reminiscing, "This old man used to be Third Master Zhang's subordinate!"
