third chapter

The night wind whistled past his ears, and the spacious official road was covered with snow. A group of three people galloped, and the horse whip in their hands kept whipping the horses under their crotch, not daring to pause for a moment.

Except for Lin'an City, Shen Xinghun and the other two went south, although the night was dark, the horse under their crotch could still see the road clearly. In addition, the official road was spacious, the three of them had already run two or three hundred miles in two hours.

However, the pursuers behind him were still chasing them, and even turned around and could vaguely see their figures.

Suddenly, an arrow feather pierced through the sky, and with a puff, it shot Shen Xinghun's horse. The horse's legs were caught in an arrow. The running horse suddenly felt pain. The legs of the arrows were weak and he fell forward.

Shen Xinghun was also thrown out hard, and rolled in an instant when he landed on the ground, removing a lot of strength, but he still fell heavily and struggled to stand up.

The other two quickly strangled the horse and turned over and dismounted.

"Star Soul! Are you okay? Can you leave?"

Shen Xinghun grinned and dusted off the snow on his body.

"I guess I can still leave, but the horse is injured. The three of us and two horses are not as good as their horses, and now it's even worse."

"Or..., or the two uncles will leave first!"

"What nonsense! Although we are not your uncle, we have also seen you since you were young and have come here to protect you this time. How could we leave you first?"

"Brother Li, you and me are in the same battle. Although they are not brothers of the same surname, they are also close relatives. After more than 20 years of war, they are now alive and die. They don't care about their mother-in-law and mother. The life of Xinghun is left to you!"

After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to react, they grabbed Shen Xinghun and put it on their own, and patted hard.

After doing this, the man turned around and walked towards the pursuer.

The man surnamed Li naturally knew that the three of them were going to die here in hesitation, and bowed to the man's back and bowed, "Brother Yang, please!"

After bowing to the end, he straightened his horse and chased Shen Xinghun.

The snow still did not stop, and the wind was even more arrogant, as if it was seeing off the person who stood up.

The man surnamed Yang took out the wine gourd that was blocked behind him and took a deep sip. Although the night wind was cold, a sip of strong wine entered his throat, which was enough to dispel the chill on his body.

The man surnamed Yang drank as he walked, sipped, step by step, without any fear, nor any sense of oppression. He walked leisurely in the garden, enjoying the falling snow and drinking the strong wine, and appeared in front of the 20-year-old pursuers.

"You guys, go and chase Shen Xinghun. The rest, kill me and come back to die. It's a big deal!" The person in the pursuit pointed at the people around him and gave orders.

"Ha!" The man surnamed Yang sneered, and with a puff, a sip of strong wine was sprayed out. It was still wine just now, but when it hit the person, it instantly turned into a blazing flame.

Three or five people could not dodge and were instantly swallowed by the flames. The people around them dodged one after another, fearing that they would burn their bodies, so they watched the few people rolling in the snow and finally burned to death.

With so much snow, it should have been possible to put out the fire, but it has no effect. The fire will not melt the snow, and the snow will not extinguish the fire, as if it is irrelevant to each other.

In the blink of an eye, only a few ashes were left on the five snow fields. Seeing the people around him being burned to death by fire, the dozen people had no intention of stopping.

Each of them looked fiercely and stared at the man surnamed Yang, as if looking for flaws and preparing to kill him with one blow.

"Yang Xiu! I didn't expect that my cultivation has improved a lot. The flames in this sip of wine are indeed extraordinary, but if I don't have enough cultivation, I will still die!"

The butler from the Purple Mansion came over from behind on a horse. He was originally one of the main characters of the interception this time, so he naturally knew that Shen Xinghun could not come to Lin'an City alone.

However, even if someone follows him, it is vulnerable in his eyes. If it were the former Shen family, even the emperor of the current dynasty would have to give in to the ancestor of the Shen family. After all, he was the number one person in the empire. Once a war broke out, with the ancestor of the Shen family, few empires would dare to overestimate themselves.

But now no one can tell what the Shen family’s ancestor is like, and the Shen family’s power is less than half a century left.

In the eyes of Butler Liu, the so-called masters in the family are all jokes. As long as the ancestor of the Shen family doesn't come out, although he is not yet the number one person in the empire, he is not far from that.

Yang Xiu, whom Liu Guanjia mentioned, was a man who followed the Shen family's ancestor. He was an orphan when he was a child. He was adopted by the Shen family's ancestor. He practiced with the Shen family and galloped on the battlefield with the ancestor. He was a bloody man. After the Shen family was weak, he stayed in the Shen family and helped to manage the family.

Yang Xiu grew up in the Shen family since he was a child. His feelings for the Shen family were different from those of the later guests. He really regarded the Shen family as his own home and the Shen family as his relatives.

In his heart, he regarded the Shen family's ancestor as a father.

In his opinion, Shen Xinghun is no different from his own nephew. He naturally has to stand up and buy time for his nephew at the critical moment of life and death.

"You are the one with Liu! You are so arrogant! You are bullying me now. There is no one in the Shen family. When the ancestor led us to fight on the battlefield, you didn't know where you were! Now you are so arrogant in front of me. When one day my ancestor comes out of seclusion, you must make you kneel at your feet and kneel at the feet of all the Shen family!"

"Ha? Go out of seclusion? If he could come out, would he ignore the Shen family when he was in decline?"

"I can't tell if he's dead. Even if he comes out and suffers such serious injuries, he's still a useless person. I'll step on him!"

Listening to Butler Liu insulting the person he respected the most, Yang Xiu was annoyed, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He understood that Butler Liu was unfathomable. Even the ancestors had said that if someone could surpass him in the future, Butler Liu in front of him would definitely be one.

He also knew that he was here to delay time and could count for a moment.

"Haha! Are you still thinking about delaying time? Do you think that if we want to kill people in our Zi Mansion, we will only have such a few people?"

"Although your young master is good, he is also of high qualifications. After all, he is Shen Tiannan's grandson, but unfortunately he is too young, so I will not give him the chance to grow up."

"This old thing Shen Tiannan is so hypocritical. He said that flowers are competing for beauty. He watched us younger generations follow him step by step, but he didn't know the truth about eternal troubles. I wouldn't be stupid to him. Only obedient people can live longer. As for your young master, he is destined to die today!"

"My surname is Liu. Although I am not the descendant of the ancestor, Yang has always kept the kindness of raising him. Today, if you insult the ancestor, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

As he said that, Yang Xiu took out a small red and white gourd from his arms. As soon as the gourd was taken out, the snow on the ground instantly melted and evaporated, and then solidified into ice in the next moment.
