Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Niu Jinda immediately hesitated. He thought for a moment and said,"Chief, don't worry. With me around, you won't die. Let's go find the doctor now."
Zhang Liang's eyes flashed coldly as he said angrily,""You don't want to kill her?"
"No." Niu Jinda hurriedly explained," I feel that it's not the time to kill her yet. If we keep her alive, she can still be a hostage if Li Rui catches up.”
"quibble." Zhang Liang pushed Niu Jinda away and unsheathed his saber. He said angrily," I'll kill him myself."”As he spoke, he staggered over to Li Xiu Ning and raised his saber, ready to slash down.
Niu Jinda turned his head away and couldn't bear to watch anymore. Li Xiuning also closed her eyes and waited for the steel knife to fall.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, followed by the sound of a corpse falling to the ground. Niu Jinda hurriedly turned his head, only to find that it was Zhang Liang who had fallen to the ground. There was a wolf fang arrow nailed to his forehead.
"Who is it?" Niu Jinda shouted as he drew his saber and looked in the direction of the arrow.
A young man slowly walked out from the grass and said with a smile,"Old Bull, we meet again!"
The person who came was Li Rui. It was as if a divine weapon had descended from the sky. Niu Jinda sucked in a breath of cold air and was about to run when Li Rui raised the three-picul bow in his hand and said,"What, you want to test my archery skills?”
Niu Jinda did not dare to move. He gritted his teeth and said,"Do you want to kill them all?"
"To tell you the truth," Li Rui said with a slight smile,"I have the same intention."”
Niu Jinda thought for a moment and walked to the horse's side. He took out all the gold and said,"This Niu is not as skilled as you, so I admit defeat. The gold is all here. General Li, please be magnanimous and do me a favor.”
"I want money, and I want people." Li Rui chuckled.”
Niu Jinda's face instantly turned pale. He wanted to fight, but he was not Li Rui's opponent at all. He could only lower his head again and say,"You're ruthless, but I don't want to fall into the hands of the Imperial Court.”
"Alright, I'll give you a quick death."”
After saying that, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow. He drew the bow like a full moon and aimed at Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda's expression did not change and he was killed.
With a swoosh, the arrow flew past the corner of Niu Jinda's eye.
Li Rui put down the bow and said,"F * ck." He actually missed. You're lucky. I never shoot a second arrow. Get lost.”
Niu Jinda was a little surprised at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised. At such a close distance, it was naturally impossible for Li Rui to miss. It was clear that he wanted to let him live.
"Thank you, General Li, for sparing my life." Niu Jinda bowed deeply to Li Rui, then jumped onto the horse's back and left without looking back.
"Hey." Li Rui sighed. When he said " I want money, I want people too ", he wanted to subdue Niu Jinda, but this guy didn't understand what he meant and thought that he wanted to kill him. Since he did not take the initiative to ask for loyalty, Li Rui was too lazy to say it out loud. However, he was also reluctant to directly kill Niu Jinda. In fact, he had already caught up for a while. He had heard the conversation between Zhang Liang and Niu Jinda. Old Cow was a good comrade. He would be useful in the future.
Li Rui stepped forward and untied Li Xiu Ning. Li Xiu Ning threw herself into his arms and started crying. Although she had been practicing martial arts since she was young and was relatively bold, she was still a girl after all. In addition, she came from an aristocratic family. When had she ever suffered such grievances? Now that the crisis was over, he felt relieved and just wanted to find a hug to cry to his heart's content.
The system's female voice sounded at the right time. Congratulations on successfully completing the mission to rescue Li Xiuning. Reward: 500 R D experience points. Reward: 5000 merit points.[Reward: 1000-mile horse, riding skill increased by 1000%.]”
Li Rui's biggest headache now was his riding skills. Although he had learned riding skills from Qian Shixiong and had the bonus of the experience card, he only knew how to ride a horse. If he wanted to go into battle, he would have to practice for a long time. Now, he had become an expert horseman in one step. Moreover, he was rewarded with a thousand-li horse. It was really awesome.
As he hugged Li Xiuning and enjoyed the soft and warm fragrance, he opened the system interface to see what the thousand-li horse that he had been rewarded with looked like.
As soon as the interface opened, Li Rui's smile became even wider, because the reward could still be chosen. There were a total of four horses in the interface: red, yellow, white, and black. The red one was called " Scarlet Flame ", the yellow one was called " Chasing Lightning ", the white one was called " Jade Lion ", and the black one was called " Black Cloud Leopard ". They were all tall and handsome.
Li Rui took a look and quickly chose the Black Cloud Leopard. As a man, didn't he want to be black and big? Moreover, the black one looked hard.
While Li Xiu Ning was crying, Li Rui quietly summoned the Black Cloud Leopard from afar and waited for it to slowly approach.
Li Xiu Ning was actually already done crying. She was just enjoying the feeling of being in Li Rui's arms, so she didn't want to stop crying. However, when a tall horse bit her clothes and pulled her out, she had no choice but to get out of Li Rui's arms.
"What a great thousand mile divine chariot." Li Xiu Ning came from a wealthy family and was also someone who knew horses." Where did you get it from?”
"I met a gang of mounted gangsters on the road, so I killed their leader and stole it."”
Li Xiu Ning naturally believed Li Rui's words without a doubt. He only requested that they ride this Black Cloud Leopard.
Li Rui naturally agreed. Therefore, the Black Cloud Leopard carried Li Xiu Ning on its back while Li Rui rode Zhang Liang's mount and started to return to Huaiyuan Town.
