Chapter 48 Lü Ping's Disappearance
After chatting with Cai Yong (Cai Bojie) for a while...
Lu Ping's temper flared up immediately.
He finally understood why Wang Zhi, the prefect of Wuyuan County, had invited him with good intentions, but ended up chasing after Cai Yong.
In response to Lü Ping's words of comfort.
Aside from a few routine words of thanks, Cai Yong began with just three sentences.
"Where are you from?"
"Which family? I've never heard of a family with the surname Lü in Wuyuan County."
"Also, which great Confucian scholar did you study under?"
After learning that Lü Ping was merely a martial artist, not even a powerful figure, and had not read any classics, Cai Bojie lost interest in him.
He subconsciously put on airs.
He straightened his back, straightened his clothes, and his nostrils, which looked like garlic cloves, pointed straight up, waiting for Lü Ping to bend down and ask him for advice.
An air of arrogance emanating from a great Confucian scholar.
If it weren't for the little girl Cai Yan standing nearby, helplessly tugging at Cai Yong's sleeve and whispering a few words of advice in his ear, Lü Ping had no doubt that Cai Yong would have gone even further.
If he weren't such a great Confucian scholar, and the teacher personally appointed by Wang Yun for Lü Bu...
He had already punched Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, in the nose, to teach him that the warriors of Wuyuan County were not much worse than the Confucian scholars!
Just as Lü Ping was losing interest in Cai Yong and instead lowered her head to tease Cai Yan, who was younger but much more sensible than her,
One side.
Lu Bu, who was leading his wandering knights to gather the troops and check the horses, frowned slightly and hurried over.
As soon as he stood behind Lü Ping, Cai Yan, who was talking to Lü Ping, immediately looked up curiously and examined the incredibly brave Lü Fengxian up close.
Lu Bu had not yet spoken.
Lu Ping then asked out of curiosity.
"Fengxian".
"How was the harvest?"
Faced with his father's question, Lü Bu subconsciously answered.
"These attendants didn't carry much money or goods; they only left behind a dozen or so horses."
"And after distributing some of these dozen or so horses to the companions who didn't have horses, only three or four were left."
talking.
Lu Bu seemed to realize something, his expression turned somewhat grim, and he added another reminder.
"Father!"
"We need to pack our things, let's go."
"It seems that a large number of cavalry has arrived from the direction of the city. Cheng Lian just lay down and listened for a while. Judging from the footsteps, there are at least a hundred of them."
This statement came out.
Cai Yong, who had been holding his head high, showing off his prominent nose, immediately lowered his head, rubbed his hands together slightly, and looked a little flustered. He subconsciously looked at Lü Ping's expression.
Look at Cai Yong and Cai Bojie's reaction.
Lu Ping sneered inwardly. He really thought Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, was just a fool who only cared about putting on airs. It turns out he does know how to value his life.
He snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and gave the orders in a series of rapid-fire sentences.
"Bring out all of Cai Bojie's family!"
"We don't need the carriage!"
"Have them all mount their horses. Those who can't ride, teach a few skilled riders to lead them!"
"Run!"
Hearing Lü Ping's instructions.
The group of wandering knights hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and helped the weeping family members out.
However... getting them out was easy, but getting them to escape on horseback with the wandering knights was a different story.
Lü Ping was helpless.
He, along with Cai Yong and the young Cai Yan, worked together to persuade Cai Yong's family members to agree and mount their horses.
Time was already tight, and this dawdling process only made things worse.
The sound of horses' hooves could already be faintly heard in everyone's ears.
Lü Ping looked up.
Look in the direction from which the sound came.
All I can see is that...
Under the pitch-black sky, a dense swarm of black dots emerged and charged rapidly toward them.
I just glanced at it.
Lu Ping then realized that there were already 150 cavalrymen opposite him! This was not just twice his number, but almost more than ten times his!
The wandering knights looked solemn.
He hastily spurred his horse, turned it around, and prepared to escort Cai Yong and his family in another direction to escape!
But... he couldn't escape more than a few dozen steps.
Another large patch of black dots emerged silently from that direction, blocking the path of the group of wandering knights.
Seeing this scene.
Everyone was horrified.
Lu Ping and his group of wandering knights were thus caught in the middle, unable to move forward or backward.
They could only hastily disperse to the outer areas.
Before Lü Ping and the others could even get started.
The riders on both sides, with remarkable coordination, launched their charge almost simultaneously!
Eighty steps!
Fifty steps!
Thirty steps!
The two groups of riders drew ever closer! Until they showed no sign of slowing down, grazing the edges of the dozen or so rangers, and colliding head-on with each other!
boom!
Several collisions!
Men and horses were thrown into chaos, and the sounds of battle erupted!
......
The group of wandering knights finally managed to escape.
at this time.
Go back and take a look.
Seeing that the two groups of people were actually fighting each other, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
They stared intently.
That's when I realized it.
One group of people, dressed in red, were over a hundred county soldiers brought by Wei Yue, Shen Pei, and others! The other group fighting with these county soldiers were all dressed in black, making it impossible to identify them!
Logically speaking...
Most normal people would be horrified and shocked to see that this city could produce a group of brave warriors who had no night blindness and could fight the county soldiers in the middle of the night without being at a disadvantage.
But Lü Bu was different.
He paid no attention to this group of cowards who relied on their numbers to make a profit.
Lu Bu withdrew his gaze, casually glancing around before preparing to count the number of his own group of wandering knights.
Since there weren't many people to begin with, the count was naturally quick.
only...
After Lü Bu finished counting the number of people, he was instantly stunned.
"wrong!"
"Two people are missing!"
"wrong!"
"Where is my father?!"
Yes.
Lu Ping, who had been bringing up the rear of the group, and Cao Xing, who had been by Lu Ping's side, had disappeared!
Lu Bu panicked.
Hearing Lü Bu's words.
The group of wandering knights who had barely escaped were immediately bewildered and at a loss.
"Just now, Lu Bo was carrying Cai Jun's youngest daughter and riding away. Because Cai Jun's youngest daughter dropped something on the ground, Lu Bo hesitated whether to pick it up."
Cheng Lian, who had been keeping a close eye on the team's movements, subconsciously recalled.
"The two of them fell behind."
"Those two groups of cavalry came with great force. If Lu Bo falls behind even slightly, he might get caught up in them."
Upon hearing this...
Whether it was the group of wandering knights or Cai Yong and the others who had been rescued, their expressions immediately dimmed.
even...
Cai Yong's wife, disregarding the occasion, covered her face and shed tears.
after all...
The battlefield, where hundreds of cavalry charged, was already fraught with danger.
If a middle-aged man carrying a little girl who is trying to escape gets caught up in this, everyone can easily guess what might happen.
It's nothing more than a matter of nine deaths and one life!
The thought of this outcome is unbearable.
Lu Bu's eyes instantly became bloodshot, his chest heaved rapidly, and his breathing became increasingly labored.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the group of black-clad riders who had caused his father's disappearance.
It looked like it was about to devour someone.
An extremely dense aura of malevolence emanated from him, almost emanating from his body.
Look at Lü Bu's appearance.
The group of wandering knights looked at each other in bewilderment and consciously took a step back to avoid being accidentally injured by Lu Bu, who might go berserk in the future.
Among this group of people who had retreated.
Only Cheng Lian, with a worried expression, took a step forward, raised his hand, pressed down on Lü Bu's shoulder, and gently comforted him.
"Brother, don't be anxious."
"I think I just saw Uncle Lü."
