Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 591 Li Zhi

Li Zhi glanced at Feng Shiliang, who immediately stepped forward and began to plead his case with Xisi: "Young lady, could you please help me find their whereabouts? They are also my family's servants. They got separated in this mountain. Now only a few of us are left with the master. It's really... Alas!"

"Oh? Are those people with you?"

The uninformed Xisi did not suspect anything and was very impressed with Li Zhi: "You are really amazing! We are almost the same age, yet you have so many slaves, and I don't have any!"

This life is beautiful, and there are so many servants. It would not be a loss if I could keep them as my husband's.

Li Zhi noticed that the young lady's thoughts were a little off-kilter, so he agreed, "If you like them, when you find them, come with me down the mountain to buy some. Although the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, it's always too tiring to do everything yourself. If a pretty young lady like you buries herself in these menial tasks all day, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

As an adult whose soul is already in his twenties, Li Zhi could see that the young lady had some interest in him.

In this world, anything can be used, let alone this young lady in the mountains.

Xisi didn't know that he wanted to use him. Seeing that he really didn't want to eat the honey, he pinched the honey that had been chirping and put it into his mouth. He closed his lips tightly and ate it with a look of enjoyment on his face. A trace of blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth, which made Li Zhi's stomach churn.

Even Feng Shiliang, who considered himself ruthless, felt a chill at this scene. He thought to himself that his master had come to Lingnan Road too hastily. If he had brought more people, he would not have suffered such heavy losses. Now there are only a few of these little guys left, and they have to condescend to deal with this vulgar woman to achieve their goals.

Less than three miles away from the cave where Cui Bianxu killed the snake, Jiang Shangxian and his group had been watching the cave from afar for almost a quarter of an hour.

This place was found very well. Unless you look closely, you can't tell that there is anyone living here.

Unfortunately, as the sun rose, the temperature also rose. The grass was thick and lush, and they were not comfortable either. Not only were they sweating profusely from the heat, but there were also a lot of bugs.

"My lady, it's been so long and there's no movement. Jiulang and the others might have run away." Perhaps because their current posture looked like they were taking a shit in the wild, Yingzi, who had rich experience in taking a shit in the wild, felt his tense nerves relieved greatly.

She thought it would be okay for her brother-in-law to run away if he couldn't win.

Our jungler Jiubai applied to join the battle again: "Madam, I'll go over and take a look first."

He goes there alone, and if he encounters danger, he can just run away, and there shouldn't be any problem.

This time Jiang Shangxian didn't stop him, but just warned him: "Be careful. If something goes wrong, come back immediately!"

After he left, everyone still didn't dare to let their guard down. Four guards observed four directions respectively to prevent being secretly surrounded, and the rest of the people stared intently in the direction of Jiubai.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left, a group of people also walked towards the cave.

"Oh no, someone's passing by! It looks like there are quite a lot of people!" Yingzi, who has rich experience in surviving in the mountains, has sharp eyes. Someone on the opposite side is heading towards the cave, and it seems that they will come after Jiubai. It is possible that Jiubai will be blocked in the cave by them, which will make things a bit difficult.

It would be fine if Cui Bianxu was inside, but if he was not, and the large wild animal was inside, the leek would be like the filling in a hamburger, attacked from both sides.

Jiang Shangxian's mind was also working frantically at this moment, constantly thinking of countermeasures.

In this mountain, except for Cui Bianxu and his group, they were surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The downside is that there are too many enemies. If we shout or blow a whistle to warn them, they will definitely be exposed and we will lose the initiative.

The advantage is that you can fight without any scruples. They are all enemies, so just don't show mercy to any of them!

Just as she was hesitating frantically, Jinyun suddenly said, "Madam, that old man seems to be the third master of the Zhao family in Dunhuang! He's the one we met at the post station when we came here!"

Last time at the post station, he really didn't notice how well the old man treated people.

The son looked a little embarrassed now, and he looked a bit like the unlucky one he had that day in Guazhou.

"What! Are you seeing things?!" Jiang Shangxian was really shocked. Why did the third son of the Dunhuang Zhao family come here?

She originally thought that even if someone from the Dunhuang Zhao family came, it would not be the master.

After all, it was the eldest brother Zhao Sheng who had been plotting against the Liu family. At his age, he would not take the risk himself. At most, he would send some guards.

As for Xiao Cui's grandfather...

He is a waste, and his presence will only cause trouble for their family.

How could it be the third brother?

Didn’t he have a falling out with Zhao Sheng?

Old Lady Liu, Old Lady Liu, they say every family has its own problems, but why is yours like a Sutra Repository?

What happened to the generals who were said to be cunning?

"Madam, isn't that Master Zhao? Why is he here too?" Yingzi saw Zhao Shan who was protected in the middle.

Jiang Shangxian's rapidly working mind froze for a moment, his face filled with disbelief: "Zhao Shan?"

This time she didn't care anymore. She stretched out half of her head and squinted to take a look. The wretched guy in the middle wearing a Confucian robe and looking like a sick chicken, who else could it be but Zhao Shan?

Didn’t this kid go back to Chang’an?

How did you get here?

Yingzi immediately speculated with the utmost malice, "Could it be that they have captured Scholar Zhao to threaten us?"

This viewpoint made perfect sense, and Jiang Shangxian nodded in agreement. "Let's sneak over there quietly, stealthily, without making any noise. If they start fighting with Jiubai, we can attack them from the dark, catching them completely off guard. Then... Yingzi, stay hidden and find a chance to take Zhao Shan away during the chaos."

"Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely get this done!" Yingzi was very confident that she could drag away Zhao Shan, the weak scholar, even though he was small!

"action!"

Following Xiao Jiang's order, everyone began to move forward slowly, half squatting and half crawling in the grass.

As the shortest one, Yingzi acted as a sentinel, always keeping an eye on the opponent's movements.

They cannot be seen by the other side, so they must always stay on the same level as the other side.

Jiang Shangxian sang "Friction, Friction" to himself in his mind, the devil's pace to refresh his mind...

She was really tired. If the environment wasn't so dangerous, she would have wanted to close her eyes and sleep all day.

What’s the difference between this and working a night shift and being dragged to the company for team-building the next day, where the content of the team-building activity is a 30-kilometer walk?

"Madam, Jiubai has gone in."

"Madam, they seem to have seen Jiubai!"

"Ma'am, they're running!"

"Ma'am, they're here!"

"Ma'am, they seem to be fighting!"

! ! ! !

Jiang Shangxian touched the box and suddenly stood up: "Run!"

No one said a word, they just kept their heads down and ran forward as lightly as possible. The enemy outnumbered us, so they had to launch a sneak attack to have a better chance of winning!

"and many more!"
