It was just for traveling, not to engage the enemy, so Li Shixian only wore a cotton robe and a fur coat, without any armor on his body.

Therefore, if the knife is stabbed, it will most likely go through the heart.

Li Chenghong was so frightened that he even forgot to cry. Gao Mang turned pale and was at a loss. The soldiers nearby were shocked and doubtful, and they all wondered whether, as Li Shixian said, all the cavalry in this brigade were here.

Buried with Li Shixian?

In a flash of lightning, I saw the tip of the knife was about to pierce my chest, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound.

A flash of silver light flashed past Gao Mang's ear, and before he could turn around to look, another "chi" sound was heard, and an arrow accurately nailed Li Shixian's right arm.

This arrow was accurate, fast and powerful, piercing directly through the flesh and nailing the arm bone.

As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, not to mention the bones?

Li Shixian felt a sharp pain, his fingers began to cramp, and he could hardly hold the dagger.

But he gritted his teeth and stabbed hard. The tip of the knife almost pierced the chest muscle, but it couldn't go in anymore?

I don't know if he is lucky or not.

That arrow not only caused him to lose all his strength, but also lost his accuracy. The tip of the knife just hit his ribs.

Only then did Gao Mang react and shouted urgently: "Take the knife off for me..."

"Take your mother..."

Li Shixian roared loudly, switched to his left hand, and grasped the handle of the knife on his chest. When he pushed it in with more force, he found that he couldn't hold it. Instead, he felt that all the bones in his heart were like ants eating, which was not ordinary.

pain.

Oops, it's stuck in the bone?

I had the intention to pull it out and try again, but I felt a chill on my face. I looked up and saw a soldier standing next to Gao Mang, holding a small crossbow and staring at him.

Shooting official?

No wonder it's so accurate...

There is a distance of more than two feet in the middle. With the archery skills of the shooting official, if I draw the sword and stab it again, I am afraid that my left arm will be useless as soon as the sword is pulled out...

"Come on... shoot... let's see if your arrow is faster, or grandpa's sword..."

Li Shixian laughed angrily and thought about countermeasures in his heart. When he saw the carriage behind the general, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Gao Mang didn't know that the knife had been stuck in the sternum. He just thought that Li Shixian didn't die the first time, but he didn't dare to attack the second time. He felt timid and was overjoyed: "Li Shixian joined the army, why did he do this?"

What a good thief, you still want to hide it from grandpa?

Li Shixian angrily scolded Li Chenghong, "Idiot, grandpa is not dead yet, why are you crying? Why don't you lift the linen cloth on the roof of the car so that the soldiers can see whether what grandpa said is true or false?"

Gao Mang's face changed: "Who dares?"

Um...wrong?

Li Chenghong really dared to rush over straight away.

"Tie me up..."

Before the soldiers could surround him, Li Shixian cursed loudly again: "You bastard, is the knife in your waist a fire stick? Put it on Grandpa's neck. If anyone dares to stop you, just stab it in..."

Seeing that Li Chenghong actually pulled out the knife and put it in his neck, his face was filled with a look of death, and everyone, including the arrogant man and the soldiers, were dumbfounded.

I also saw a ghost. I thought it was perfect, but why was it discovered by Li Shixian?

He was not afraid that Li Shixian and his son would suddenly kill people. There were more than a hundred soldiers on the left and right, so he let him kill them. With two people and only two swords, how many could he kill?

But Li Shixian wants to commit suicide?

If he really committed suicide in full view of the public, how could he frame Xi Kangsheng? Is it possible that all these hundreds of soldiers could also commit suicide?

And anyone who runs out is a witness...

And this Li Chenghong is really hopelessly stupid. He asked you to commit suicide. Do you really commit suicide?

If he is allowed to lift the linen cloth, the truth will be revealed that there is no food and grass in the car, let alone military armor...

Gao Mang was so angry that he vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing Li Chenghong approaching the car, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot me in the leg..."

No matter where this arrow hits, the knife in Li Chenghong's hand will be stabbed into his neck. But in times of urgency, the general can't care less.

Li Shixian was startled, and just as he was about to yell, the archer had already pulled the hanging knife.

It's only more than two feet away, how can there be any reason for the shot to be inaccurate?

Li Shixian didn't even dare to look at it anymore, and the image of Li Chenghong stabbing him from front to back and blood arrows shooting out appeared in his mind.

But when Kankan closed his eyes, he heard a chorus of "Hey". When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw Li Chenghong holding the knife in his hand, rolling on the spot, narrowly dodging the crossbow arrows, and then like a rubber ball.

Rolled in front of the car.

Then he raised the knife and slashed quickly, and heard another "chi" sound. Even the linen cloth on the roof of the car and the linen bag under the cloth were cut open, and the contents were immediately exposed.

Is it actually a bag of grass chaff mixed with snow?

"Hahaha...hahahahaha...what a good boy, finally smart for once..."

Li Shixian looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

He only thought that his eldest son would definitely die here, but he didn't expect that when he was at the end of his rope, Li Chenghong just found a glimmer of life?

All the soldiers nearby could see clearly and were immediately in an uproar, forgetting to even stop Li Chenghong.

The trip to the West Sea is more than two thousand miles away. Even if there is no wind, snow, or twists and turns, it will take at least twenty days to go up. Therefore, we must prepare food, and nothing less will be enough.

Otherwise, in this deserted land of ice and snow, soldiers and horses can still eat snow to satisfy their hunger?

When leaving the city, Gao Mang also mentioned that there were ten carts, three of which were armored soldiers, in case of sudden encounters with the enemy. One cart was used as a tent for garrisoning troops, and the remaining six carts were all made of millet, sugarcane, etc.

There are hundreds of stones, which are worth more than ten thousand catties.

Divided into each horse, each person has more than a hundred kilograms, which is enough for the past few months anyway.

But who knew that it was actually filled with straw chaff?

Even if you pack some hay, you can still use the excuse of "for the horses to eat", but the horses will not even look at this thing, and it is also filled with broken snow and ice slag. At a glance, you can tell that it is a trick.

And when I thought about it more deeply, Gao Mang was never prepared to take them to the West Sea?

Is it true, as Li Shixian said, that these hundreds of soldiers came just to pay for their burial?

For a moment, all the soldiers under his command stared at the remaining grain carts with shock and doubt in their eyes, and many of them began to whisper among themselves.

What's more, Li Shixian even saw two coachmen in the rear car, seeming to secretly touch the grain bags under the linen cloth.

But within a few touches, the coachman's expression changed.

It seems that among these ten carts, not one bag contains real food...

Li Shixian became more and more proud: "Fortunately, grandpa has not forgotten the danger. Every time when food and grass are mentioned, you, a thief, always care about him, so he secretly became suspicious. Taking a closer look, the carriages are actually different from each other.

The driving is light, including the driver, it is probably less than a thousand pounds, only then did I realize there was something wrong..."

"As the old saying goes, a mountain has nine climbs, but only a small amount of effort falls short... I am puzzled: Why can't you make the car heavier? Even if it can be replaced by sand, why should it be loaded with grass chaff?"

Gao Mang hated it so hard that his teeth were broken.

Are you a grandpa who doesn’t want to pretend to be sand?

It's such a cold day, and there are several heavy snowfalls in succession. Where is it not frozen to a depth of four to five feet?

To dig out ten loads of sand and soil, it would cost more than a hundred loads of firewood to burn the soil.

The sacks are rough, but the sandy soil is fine and easily exposed to dust, so it can only be replaced with fine stones, which is several times more difficult.

He also thought that it would only take half a day at most for the officers and soldiers to catch up and the possibility of revealing the secret was low, so he filled it with straw chaff.

But who could have expected that Li Shixian would be so jealous?

He is not good at debating to begin with, and all the soldiers under his command are suspicious. All you need to do is take a look at the contents of the car while he is not looking, and you will be able to get to the bottom of it. Therefore, it is impossible to argue.

Gao Mang calmed down and said through gritted teeth: "Li Shixian, how do you treat me?"

"What a joke. Can you do what I, Li, say? But I can give you a good idea: If I were you, you could either kill my father and son here on the spot, and then wait for the officers and soldiers to catch up.

To put the blame again is...

But after thinking about it, I know that you are not sure that all these hundreds of soldiers will be killed by the enemy, and you can't make them all keep their mouths shut..."

Hearing this, all the soldiers nearby were all horrified and stared at Gao Mang in shock and fear: Gao Zhao wants to kill all his men?

Seeing that he had achieved his goal with just a few words, Li Shixian seemed not to even feel the pain. He grinned and said, "Either you make a decision immediately and return to the city immediately to replace the soldiers who died for Li... It's a pity that the fire was set."

It’s a little early, I wonder if it’s still late?”

Seeing how arrogant and reckless he was, he wanted to rush forward and stab Li Shixian ten times.

But the impatience disrupted the big plan. If Li Shixian was killed at this time, wouldn't it ruin the Taiwei's plan?

Gao Mang tried hard not to get angry, and repeatedly considered whether to return to the city as soon as possible as Li Shixian said.

While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a soldier beside him exclaim: "Enemy troops?"

Gao Mang suddenly raised his head and looked south, and sure enough he saw a few black spots two or three miles away.
