I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 223 No need

During the pursuit, the people around Lu Guan kept fighting with the personal guards of Waqi Taiji Morichi, so that in the end he was the only one pursuing.

Mori watched his opponent gasping for breath and almost vomiting blood, but the people behind him were still chasing him. He turned back several times to shoot arrows, but now he had no arrows left and could only run away.

Lu Guan still had arrows, but his arm strength held him back, and he always missed the target every time he shot. The reason was that his horse was going too fast, and he had too little experience in practicing dynamic horseback archery.

He couldn't chase anymore. He judged that he was too far away from the main force and had to fight quickly.

So he made up his mind, pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the horse's butt. The mount under him felt pain and reflexively rushed forward.

When the two horses were about to run parallel to each other, he suddenly pounced on Morichi, and both of them fell off their horses in an instant.

However, since one of Morichi's feet was still stuck in the stirrup, the two of them were inevitably dragged by the horse.

"Cut it off." Lu Guan immediately turned over and rolled away, then ran after the horse again.

Fortunately, Morichi had been riding and shooting for many years, and the horse he rode was his beloved horse that he had raised for many years. After Morichi rolled away, he decisively whistled to stop his horse and at the same time swung his knife to cut off the stirrup.

But when he was enduring the pain in his legs and climbing onto the horse's back, Lu Guan swooped over and knocked him to the ground in an instant.

Molichi burst out: "Asshole, is this the only trick the damn southerners can use?"

"More than that!" Lu Guan answered with an iron fist, hitting Molichi hard on the head.

Good man, before he could even throw the second punch, Morichi’s nose was bleeding and he was knocked unconscious.

Lu Guan patted his face: "Hey, wake up."

Unfortunately, the person under him didn't move. He turned his head and punched his right fist. A second of confusion appeared in his mind, "How could a tribal taiji be knocked out so easily?"

He would not be so arrogant as to think that his fists were strong, but now was not the time to think about that, he had to return immediately along the same path.

His horse had no idea where to go, and the smell of blood would surely attract wild beasts on the grassland.

So Lu Guan quickly found something to tie the man up, and then requisitioned Morichi's horse that had not escaped, and the two of them rode back together.

He had not walked far when he heard the howling of wolves, so he quickened his pace. Then, in the darkness, he accidentally missed the first group of his teammates who were chasing him.

So when the second and third teams had not yet found Lu Guan, Shen Changsui decided to look for him himself.

But Guard Xia refused, "Master Shen, among the thirty of us who went directly to the battlefield, two were killed and three were seriously injured. After sending out three groups of fifteen people, now including you, me and the first group of returnees, there are only fifteen people left.

Among these fifteen people, eight are injured. We are no longer able to send more people. The convoy is the key.

Moreover, I will not allow you to leave again, lest I lose you again. Besides, you are injured.

I think that Mr. Lu was a lucky man. Although his horse bled to death, the wound was obviously inflicted by himself.

There are also broken stirrups on the road. I believe he must have robbed other horses. The second and third groups of people who are still searching may run into him."

"Over there, have you come up with the statistics on the casualties of the Waqi people?" Shen Changsui's heated brain was cooled down in time by the other party's long words.

Guard Xia knew that what he actually wanted to ask about was the casualties of the other four families: "The details are unknown, but we have quite a few injured people.

I heard that Miss Shen and the Taoist priests are all providing treatment. I think the number will be out after daybreak.

At present, the four families have returned and are digging pits to bury the bodies. We cannot drag the others out into the wilderness for one person."

"Let's go back first and leave a secret sign for the other two groups of brothers who are looking for people. Come back when they see it." After weighing it, Shen Changsui finally agreed with his point of view. After all, Captain Xia in front of him was a seventh-rank official and would not be like Bian Xian and others who would completely follow their own opinions.

Alas, Bian Xian was injured and didn’t come with us, so we are really missing a helper.

Guard Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved to his brothers, and everyone mounted their horses and returned.

For safety reasons, everyone lit torches and walked at a slow pace. He said to Shen Changsui, who was walking side by side, "Master Shen, which arrow was that today?"

"The least likely person should be Bart. He wants to use our strength to fight against Wu Er." During the battle, Shen Changsui didn't even see who shot him.

Guard Xia nodded slightly: "In that case, I will focus on the other three families."

Shen Changsui said: "That's not necessary. The person who made the move will not have another chance to do so in the rest of the journey.

It would be useless for our people to approach them and just find the murderer, as it would easily destroy the superficial cooperation."

He took a deep breath, shook off the chill from the sweat on his body, and said, "I hope Lu Guan can catch a living Taiji."

"Huh?" Guard Xia was a little confused, but Shen Changsui had already sped up and didn't intend to elaborate.

And the Lu Guan they were worried about, after following Molichi for a long time, had to admit that he had taken the wrong path.

Even though the stars in the sky showed him the way, he was still led astray by the horse.

Under such circumstances, he quickly dismounted and looked for something on his horse. After searching for a long time, he found nothing but a water bag and a few small weapons. As the Taiji of a tribe, he didn't even have a fire starter and was extremely poor.

Fortunately, I brought some with me. Each team member had one. When Shen Xiaoye was buying them, he said that each one cost as much as one or two taels of silver.

While leading the horse, Lu Guan tried hard to find something that could be burned, but unfortunately, there were nothing but grass roots here.

After searching for a long time and finding nothing flammable, he sighed and said, "Even if I have a tinderbox, it's useless without firewood."

In addition, he heard the intermittent howling of wolves in the distance, so he decisively chose to mount his horse. Unexpectedly, his men pressed down on Molichi's back with a little force, and from the trembling of his back and his heavier breathing, it seemed that this guy had woken up.

"Mori Chi Taiji, want to chat?" Otherwise, it would be too boring to walk alone in the empty world. Lu Guan used Dada language, which he had learned since years ago and was already fluent.

Molichi knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he asked, "Which scout of mine did you bribe?"

Lu Guan said: “We explored from both sides.

Your people have been hungry for too long. If you don't have anything, you can go somewhere else. Be content!"

"Just to have enough to eat?" Morichi thought that his men had received a large sum of money, but then he changed his mind and thought, what's the use of having money? There is not even a herdsman grazing in this damn place.

Lu Guandian nodded: "They have been short of salt for too long. When we were trading yesterday, I saw that many of the women you brought with you had goiter."

Although this disease is not entirely caused by salt deficiency, it is no big deal for him to use it to scare people.

"How about you join my team and deliver salt immediately?" He tried to throw out a point of interest.

Morichi remained silent.
