Whoosh!!

Li You's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly heard the sound of piercing the air coming from behind him.

He reacted instantly, exerted force on his waist, kicked his feet to the ground, and his whole body spun and flew up.

A crossbow arrow just missed the sole of Li You's foot and hit the bamboo pole nearby.

Li You came to the center of a bamboo, grabbed it with one hand, and then put his feet against the bamboo pole, firmly fixing it on it.

Look down.

I saw that the young man who had just come in with Zhao An had not yet put away the crossbow in his hand.

Li You snorted secretly, with a mocking look in his eyes.

Zhao An was also frightened when he saw this scene.

He walked forward quickly and asked:

"Wang He!!"

"What are you doing? If something happens to Your Highness, our entire village will not survive."

"Brother! He wants to catch us two now." Listening to Wang He's words, Li You also understood that these two people were the two who made a move at Shangguan Mansion the night before yesterday.

Wang He should be a little more reckless in his heart. This person named Zhao An must still understand some truth.

If he died here, these people would really have no chance of survival at all.

When Li You saw Zhao An scolding him, he let go and dropped his hand.

Upon seeing this, Zhao An quickly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted and said:

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. This younger brother of mine has been reckless since he was a child, and his mind is not fully developed, so he made such a big mistake."

Wang He stared at Li You fiercely, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Brother, why are you doing this? As long as we kill him, this matter will be fine."

He took out a dagger from his chest and stabbed Li You.

Li You didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, but instead smiled.

This guy is completely different from Zhao An. He has a reckless personality and is extremely cruel.

He must have been the one who shot arrows at Li Tai and the others that day.

Zhao An probably never thought of taking action against the prince, but it was Wang He who could do such a thing.

"Brother no!!"

Before Zhao An could stand up, Wang He had already stabbed him.

Li You flew up and kicked him hard on the wrist. The dagger in his hand was inserted into the bamboo pole beside him.

Li You used his strength to kick Wang He in the chest again.

The force was so strong that he flew backwards.

If it weren't for the many bamboos blocking him behind him, he might have fallen onto the gravel nearby.

Zhao An quickly stood up and ran to Wang He's side to see if he was okay.

Li You shook his head and said:

"Don't worry! I didn't hurt any important parts of his body. The kick was just to give him some relief. His left wrist should be swollen now. He needs to take ice water to cool it down from time to time. It only takes two or three days.

alright."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing your life!"

Zhao An relied on Li You's kick and naturally knew that he would not be his opponent.

A trace of fear flashed through Zhao An's heart. He didn't expect that this prince's martial arts skills were so high. He knocked his sworn brother to the ground in just a few strokes.

His sworn brother is the person with the highest martial arts skills in the village. (You are young and strong, but the older generation is already old after all.)

Zhao An learned the art of scouting, and the most important thing he studied in martial arts was Qinggong. Naturally, he couldn't compare with Wang He in terms of boxing and kicking skills.

Wang He was learning the art of fighting in military formations. If he had been given a broadsword or a spear, Li You might have had to work harder to capture this young man.

Li You was able to end the fight with two kicks, not only because of his overlord power, but also because the environment here was not suitable for large-scale kung fu.

The range of his two feet is also extremely narrow, and the overall distance is no more than two meters, making it much easier to use.

As for Wang He's move of using a dagger to hit a broadsword, it would be strange if he was not knocked out!

"Take him back on your back! Please explain this matter to me carefully."

Li You already had some guesses about this matter. After all, apart from running away when he saw him the first time, Zhao An was very polite and had a low attitude. (It is understandable that he ran away after meeting him. After all, this is

They are here to catch you, so basically your first reaction will be to run away.)

If Zhao An killed innocent people indiscriminately, he would really not believe it. (It's not that he doesn't believe it at all, it's not 100%.)

"Alas!" Zhao An sighed deeply and said helplessly:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhao An carried Wang He back to the village chief's house.

The village chief was also anxious when he saw this, but he relaxed when he saw that there was no anger on Li You's face.

He went into the house to get some medicinal materials and gave Wang He some simple treatment.

Wang He and Zhao An were punished by the village chief and knelt in the courtyard. Li You, Li Zhi and the village chief sat on the chairs outside.

The remaining people sat on the steps and listened to Zhao An telling the reasons for these things.

"I have a sister named Zhao Ling, who is fifteen years old this year."

With tears in his eyes, Zhao An began to tell the story.

Hearing Zhao An mention Zhao Ling, Wang He also had a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

The village chief's eyes gradually became moist and slightly red.

"She died four months ago. She was ravaged to death by that beast named Li Xian."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

There was no change in Li You's face. He had already guessed that such a story would develop.

But looking at this brother, with his face full of anger and his eyes full of hatred, I felt a little bit emotional and intolerable in my heart.

"In fact, the income of Zhucun has not been very good since the village was built here."

"In addition to farming on a large field in the south of the village, the rest is basically using the bamboo forests on both sides to make some accessories or small gadgets such as chairs and tables to be sold in Chang'an."

Zhao An continued to speak.

"Ever since we were born, my father taught me the art of military scouting, and my mother taught my sister how to turn these bamboo strips into cute gadgets or practical items."

"My father passed away a year ago, and my mother was sick in bed, so the burden of the family fell on my sister and me."

"But my sister and I never thought that such a life would be difficult or anything like that. We both firmly believed that life would get better and better."

"But...but that day..."

As Zhao An spoke, tears began to flow down uncontrollably, and his tone gradually became fierce, even gnashing his teeth.

"That beast named Li Xian saw my sister while he was wandering on the street."

"Originally, the two of us, brother and sister, thought he was a good person. Seeing that he looked like a well-educated scholar, we didn't have much suspicion in our hearts."

"My sister even gave him a few trinkets as a souvenir."

"The next few times, he would come to the street to take care of our business every once in a while, and buy a few small ornaments from time to time."
