Chapter 154: Horse Robbery (Part )
As Chu Huanjun's counterattacks became faster and faster, the enemy, despite having more soldiers and horses, gradually became tired of fighting and was gradually defeated.
Tao Yao followed Chu Huanjun in drawing his sword. Seeing that no one could defeat them, he couldn't help but feel confident. He simply shook off Chu Huanjun's hand and flew out of his arms. He also imitated Chu Huanjun and danced wildly in the crowd with the long sword in his hand.
Tao Yao had always been a reserved person, but today was the first time she felt so happy and proud to settle scores. It was as if she had instantly released all the frustration she had endured, transforming it into the merciless, silent sword in her hand, swinging it at anyone she disliked, regardless of the consequences or concerns about gains or losses.
Although Tao Yao had never learned martial arts before, she was quick-witted and learned quickly. Simply by imitating Chu Huanjun's moves, she managed to repel two or three waves of attacking Zuo family guards. Chu Huanjun couldn't help but applaud her, praising her, "Well done!"
The two men fought side by side, killing 20% to 30% of the guards who had surrounded the carriage, and gradually approached the horses tied in front of the carriage.
At this moment, Zuo Qiu suddenly popped his head out of the car window again. Seeing Tao Yao and Chu Huanjun already dancing in front of him, his eyes instantly widened to the size of two quail eggs, his face turning pale and blue, and he shouted in frustration: "What's wrong with you?! More than a dozen people, and you can't even beat two people?! A bunch of losers!"
It happened so quickly that before Zuoqiu could finish his words, Tao Yao had already stepped onto a horse in front of the carriage, turned sideways, and made a face at him with a wink.
Zuo Qiu's eyes instantly turned red with anger. He pointed in Tao Yao's direction and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and capture him!"
Seeing this, Tao Yao quickly grasped the long sword in his hand and swung it in the air at the group of guards who were about to rush over. The wind from the sword made a whistling sound, and it scraped against those people's bodies, even shaking their sleeves and hair a little bit.
"Hurry up and catch this thief!" Zuo Qiu was so anxious that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He couldn't help but smash his fist hard on the carriage window, making the carriage wall rattle.
At that moment, Chu Huanjun, like a flash of lightning, darted through the crowd and appeared in front of Tao Yao. With a swish, he flung open the folding fan in his hand and held it against his chest. He calmly brushed his hair, which had become a little messy due to the fight, and then smiled calmly. His eyes were fierce, but his tone was very gentle: "Who dares to touch her?"
For a moment, everyone present looked at each other in surprise - the person in front of them, wearing a bright red peony dress, was actually a man.
"So you're a man, no wonder you're so good at fighting!" The arrogant girl emerged from the dark crowd again, this time holding a sword in her hand. She crawled to Chu Huanjun like a mouse, waving her sword, indicating that she wanted to declare war on him.
"The young master has given an order. What are you all standing there for? Come and capture these two rampant bandits and get rid of this harm to the people!" The girl shouted again, grabbing the sword and rushing straight towards Chu Huanjun.
Chu Huanjun smiled nonchalantly, lifted her long skirt, kicked her long legs, and kicked the girl aside like a ball.
The girl was about to get up when Zuo Qiu shouted angrily, "You disgraceful thing! Get out of the way!"
In a flash, Chu Huanjun leaped lightly, and in the next instant, a crimson figure stood tall and graceful on the carriage's roof. Chu Huanjun smiled and waved his fan, maintaining that bright, gentle smile on his face, speaking in a gentle, soft voice. "We don't want anything from you, just a horse. Will you give it to us?"
Zuo Qiu poked his head out of the car window and saw the tip of Chu Huanjun's shoe pressing down on his head. He was furious and threw a teacup at Chu Huanjun's foot, cursing, "You bastard, are you tired of living? Do you know who my father is?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Huanjun couldn't help but cover his face and chuckle. He simply sat down on the spot, crossed his two long legs, and boldly stretched out one foot to step on Zuo Qiu's head.
Zuo Qiu suddenly felt as if lead was poured into his brain and his whole body stiffened in place, his teeth clenched and made a clicking sound, and his face looked like it had been splashed with a bucket of paint, with colors turning blue, red, purple, and gray.
Obviously, this young master, who was usually so noble and dignified, was so angry at Chu Huanjun that he was about to faint.
Chu Huanjun laughed twice nonchalantly, and the foot that was stepping on Zuo Qiu's head even boldly scraped his hair, scraping all the mud and sand on the sole of the shoe onto Zuo Qiu's hair.
Chu Huanjun was probably the most brazen thief in the world, daring to use Young Master Zuo's hair to wipe the mud off his shoes! This action instantly attracted the large group of soldiers who had just surrounded Tao Yao.
Although the number of guards that Zuo Qiu brought with him was almost like a small army, they all looked angry but dared not speak when they saw this situation.
Chu Huanjun was extremely powerful, as everyone had just witnessed. Therefore, at this moment, no one dared to step forward to rescue their poor Young Master Zuo.
Chu Huanjun tilted his head and smiled, looking at Zuo Qiu with his chin, and asked awkwardly, "Little friend, do you know who my father is?"
Suddenly, Zuo Qiu recognized a clue in Chu Huanjun's voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before...
Before Zuo Qiu could figure it out, Chu Huanjun had already untied the gauze on his face and smiled a smile that was three times brighter than the beautiful spring scenery before him.
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Some of those who were quick to react had already prostrated themselves before Chu Huanjun and kowtowed.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, may His Royal Highness be well and safe!"
Zuo Qiu was speechless for a moment, "You...you are..."
Chu Huanjun snorted coldly, swung his long legs, and removed his foot from Zuo Qiu's head. Zuo Qiu quickly leaned half of his body out of the car window, his eyes catching up with Chu Huanjun's figure.
But Chu Huanjun had vanished in an instant. Zuo Qiu looked around but couldn't find the big red figure. Suddenly, he felt a warm sensation at the base of his ear, as if someone was blowing gently into his ear.
"The last time I saw you, you were still nursing your wet nurse. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big... Oh, what a pity, you seem to have grown crooked."
Zuo Qiu turned around in fear, only to be greeted by Chu Huanjun's smiling face. He quickly reached out to grab Chu Huanjun's shirt, but another flurry of images and shadows swept across his face. He looked down, but his hands were empty; he hadn't caught anything.
