Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 593 Recognition of relatives

This arrow finally made Zhao Ji and his group, who were busy escaping, realize that their current situation was that they were being attacked from both sides, which was quite bad.

Thinking of the giant snake inside, Zhao Ji drew his knife without hesitation and shouted, "Kill them!"

Everyone knows that you should pick the softest persimmons.

Compared to the giant snake that makes people weak in the knees just by looking at it, Jiang Shangxian and others who have only six guards are obviously easier to control.

The six guards were not afraid at all. They understood that Jiang Shangxian wanted to drive the wolf to fight the tiger, so they did not fight to the death. They just blocked their escape route and forced them back to the cave.

Zhao Ji and his group currently have only ten people who are still capable of fighting. Because Jiang Shangxian has been shooting arrows from behind, the difference in numbers among them is not obvious. In fact, because of the geographical location, Jiang Shangxian's side has a slight advantage.

If this situation can be maintained, Jiang Shangxian's plan will surely succeed.

Unfortunately, the giant snake inside was not just for show. It had just fought with the people outside and killed several people in seconds, so it also poked its head out of the cave unwillingly.

This giant snake had obviously developed some intelligence. It did not stick its head out completely, but instead stood its huge head up quietly and peered into the cave entrance.

It understood the law of the jungle that only those who fish benefited had access to it when it was still a little snake.

Its thinking is somewhat consistent with Jiang Shangxian's - everyone sees an enemy.

At first, the people who were fighting fiercely did not realize that they were being spied on by a huge snake. Yingzi, wearing a straw hat, crawled quietly on the ground, using his hands and feet to quickly approach Zhao Shan who was rolling around to avoid it.

Jiang Shangxian, however, keenly sensed something was amiss. The smell at the scene was simply too chaotic: sweat, blood, and even someone she couldn't tell who had taken a dump and hadn't wiped it clean. She could even smell the faint stench of feces...

vomit…

Her overly sensitive nose made her mind a little confused, but her radar for danger had been triggered, and she had to divert some of her attention to guard against the ferocious beast in the cave whose true appearance had not yet been fully revealed.

Because of this, she happened to catch a glimpse of a pair of terrifyingly huge eyes, eyes that belonged only to snakes, cold-blooded, indifferent, and full of aggression. She even saw a hint of cunning in those eyes.

And those eyes seemed to be looking at Yingzi on the ground - she was very close to Zhao Shan, one meter, only about one meter away and she could catch the frightened and trembling Zhao Shan.

not good!

"Hero! Run!" Without any need to think, Jiang Shangxian suddenly changed the direction of the arrow that was originally shot at Zhao Ji's feet and shot it at the giant snake's left eye without hesitation.

Facing the attack from the tiny human, the giant snake did not dodge or evade. Instead, it opened its mouth and leaped forward towards Yingzi.

Yingzi knew there was danger the moment she heard the shouting, but her mind was full of her own mission. She was only one step away, so how could she give up?

He immediately jumped forward, grabbed the hair on Zhao Shan's head and ran forward desperately, making Zhao Shan scream in pain.

Seeing this, Jiang Shang shot two arrows in succession again, then took out a big firecracker with the fastest speed he could, and threw it into the giant snake's open mouth while running.

very good!

You didn’t learn the three-step layup in vain in physical education class!

The firecracker landed accurately into the giant snake's open mouth.

Animals will have instinctive reactions, and the giant snake did the same at this time. When it felt something entering its mouth, it opened its mouth with force without any hesitation.

The huge biting force made the firecracker make a loud "bang".

This confusing and harmless voice made Zhao Ji and his group, who were enjoying the fight, subconsciously look up at the sky. Even the Cui family guards, who had been mentally prepared, were startled.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiang, who was trying to remain calm, seized the opportunity and shot an arrow at one of them in the chest.

People get used to killing after killing over and over again.

You know what, in this situation where there are enemies everywhere, it's really a killing spree.

Being attacked from both sides, Zhao Ji suffered heavy losses, and now he only had four pitiful guards left.

The giant snake was also frightened by the explosion sound coming from its own mouth, and the whole snake retreated back into the depths of the cave at the speed of light.

This heroic figure also took this opportunity to drag the dazed Zhao Shan to Jiang Shangxian's side to ask for credit: "Auntie, I rescued Master Zhao! What was that just now? Was it a snake? And a snake that big?"

The little girl was a bit heartless. Besides being excited about completing the task, she was also impressed by the snake's size. Her tone was exactly the same as Jiang's mother's: "How much does it eat in one meal?"

The crisis still exists. The giant snake is only temporarily scared away because it has never heard of such a noise before. It will soon find that it is fine and has just eaten a mouthful of stones. It will definitely come back again.

Seeing that the crisis had temporarily eased, Zhao Ji immediately said to Jiang Shangxian, "Daughter-in-law Yi, you and I are relatives. Why are we so hostile? One person can't enjoy all the wealth in this world. Why don't we join forces?"

Since she attacked him so decisively, it meant that the new bride Cui Yi had already known his identity.

But so what?

She currently has only six guards and that little girl around her.

There are no eternal enemies in this world. As long as it is profitable, why can't we cooperate?

After resolving the current crisis, he would find a way to kill this young woman, cut off her head and throw it in front of Cui Yi. He didn't believe that Cui Yi would not be greatly disturbed!

Then take the opportunity to strike again...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shangxian could guess that this was the old man's delaying tactic, but who can't pretend?

"Relatives? I've met everyone in the Cui family, but I've never met you."

Xiao Jiang pretended to be clueless, not realizing the hidden meaning in his words: "Don't try to trick me."

Zhao Ji smiled, but inwardly he gritted his teeth. "Haha, you and Yi'er just got married, so you haven't had time to go to Guazhou to meet our relatives yet, right? I'm your mother-in-law's third uncle, so you should call me your uncle and grandfather. Guazhou is far away, so I'll ask Yi'er to take you back to meet your relatives in a few days. We can't let things get estranged from each other!"

Jiang Shangxian's expression was very accurate. Upon hearing this, she was first delighted, then extremely sad, tears welling up in her eyes. "Uncle, please forgive me. I'm just an ignorant woman from the inner chamber. I've been frightened these past two days, so I think every stranger I see is a bad person. Look at what's happened. It's really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other..."

She explained very carelessly and quickly changed the subject to the problem at hand: "Now that the giant snake is still there, and Jiulang is also there, I'm afraid something has happened. I might not be able to go to Guazhou. My grandmother specifically ordered me to come here to deliver something to Jiulang, but who knew something like this would happen..."
