Chapter 86 My Suicidal Brother (4)
Although Zhao Ruhua knew what Li Xiang was busy with late at night every day, she let him do whatever he wanted.
Some people just won't turn back until they hit a brick wall. She wanted to see just how far Li Xiang could go in his self-destructive ways.
A few days later, Li Xiang dug a dog hole, packed his belongings, and climbed out.
I'm finally free!
He originally wanted to go to Li Zhe, but he was afraid that Li Zhe would send him back, so he decided to leave the city!
With his many years of experience wandering abroad, he is sure to live a very successful life.
Li Xiang was very confident, believing himself to be handsome and talented, and capable of composing poetry, so he thought he would have many admirers.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the city, he encountered bandits while passing through a mountain.
"Who dares to block my way?" Li Xiang asked without fear.
"Leave your toll, and we won't take your life," the bandits shouted from their tall horses.
"Robbery?" Li Xiang frowned. How could he survive without money?
"What, you want us to rape you?" the bandits laughed.
“If it’s about robbing women, then not robbing money is also acceptable!” Li Xiang said righteously.
The bandits were stunned. This man looked so refined and cultured, how could he have such a peculiar hobby?
"The second-in-command seems to have a penchant for delicate-skinned scholars. Why not take him back and hand him over to the second-in-command for disposal?"
After discussing it, the bandits tied a rope to Li Xiang's wrist and dragged him back to their stronghold on horseback.
Li Xiang followed behind the horse, his mouth never stopping as he cursed the bandits from head to toe.
"Only then do we realize that those who are useless grow wildly and unruly."
"They're only after money and don't care about people. Let's see what the future holds!"
The bandits were puzzled and asked each other what he meant. In the end, they all agreed that he was cursing!
So the bandits deliberately sped up, and Li Xiang ran all the way until he got blisters on his feet.
After arriving at the mountain stronghold, he was given a wash and changed clothes before being led into the second-in-command's room.
The second-in-command had just drunk some alcohol and was looking at him with glazed eyes.
"Raise your head!"
Li Xiang knelt on the ground, extremely nervous, but had no choice but to raise his head.
Sitting opposite him was a burly, bald man with a thick beard.
His eyes were bloodshot, his bare arms were very muscular, and there was a shocking knife scar.
Li Xiang swallowed hard and lowered his head in a panic.
"Hahaha!" The second-in-command seemed very happy. He got up, came to Li Xiang, and reached out to pinch his chin.
"Your appearance is indeed striking, and your shy charm is far more captivating than those brutes on the mountain. From now on, you will follow me, the Great King, and live a life of luxury, shall we?" The Second Master's voice boomed, his imposing presence overwhelming.
Li Xiang didn't dare to utter a sound; he was unwilling, but he dared not say it!
The second-in-command pulled Li Xiang up and actually walked towards the bedside.
Li Xiang wished he could die on the spot; his steps were heavy, and his face was full of resistance.
"Are you saying I'm ugly?" The second-in-command looked displeased.
"How could this be? Second Master, residing near the mountain. Leading the way is the mountain god, followed by wolves. Piled stones are like jade, rows of pines are like emerald green. Your beauty is unparalleled, there is no one like you in the world!" Li Xiang exclaimed in admiration.
The second-in-command burst into a hearty laugh!
"Good, very good!" As he spoke, he pushed Li Xiang down onto the bed.
"The second-in-command's might should be used on women, not on me, a man!"
Li Xiang shouted exaggeratedly and actually kicked the second-in-command to the ground.
The second-in-command excitedly scrambled to his feet, laughing even louder, "I love this hot-tempered little brat!"
"What?" Li Xiang was stunned.
He struggled desperately, but was held firmly by the second-in-command and slapped twice.
"Ah Zhe, help me!" Li Xiang's forehead was covered in sweat; he didn't want to be humiliated.
"Who is A-Zhe? His lover?" The second-in-command was clearly furious.
Li Xiang was breathing rapidly; even if Li Zhe came, he couldn't save him!
In his struggle, he shouted again, "My wife, Ruhua, if you don't come soon, your husband will be gone!"
"You actually got married?" The second-in-command laughed maniacally again.
It's laughable that someone would expect their wife to come to their rescue when they first encounter a man in danger!
"Help! Ruhua, your husband is being bullied!" Li Xiang's hoarse voice echoed in the room.
"If the young lady comes, I'll take both of you!" The second-in-command grabbed Li Xiang by the neck with one hand and laughed loudly.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiang's clothes were humiliatingly torn off.
Just then, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside.
The door to the room was kicked open, and a dashing woman stood in the doorway.
Zhao Ruhua, dressed in general's armor, looked imposing and her sharp eyes fell on the second-in-command's face.
Li Xiang's eyes lit up, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
"I want to see who is so audacious as to kidnap my husband!" Zhao Ruhua pointed her five-hooked silver spear at the second-in-command.
The second-in-command was somewhat stunned; this woman looked fierce and menacing, like a demon from hell!
Just as Zhao Ruhua attacked him, the second-in-command flipped down and took his weapons, a pair of large hammers.
In just a few rounds, Zhao Ruhua pierced the second-in-command's heart with a single spear thrust, killing him instantly.
Li Xiang clutched his chest, biting his lip in fright, his eyes glazed over.
Zhao Ruhua put away the five-hooked silver spear, walked to the bedside, and took off her cloak to wrap around Li Xiang.
Li Xiang then burst into tears, "Madam, why did it take you so long to arrive!"
"Oh? Now you know I'm your wife?" Zhao Ruhua asked coldly, "Did you know this would happen when you dug a dog hole to escape?"
Li Xiang was shy and remained silent.
On the other side, Su Dingding was also searching everywhere for the leader. Li Zhe had died at his hands, and this revenge had to be taken!
The leader was completely bewildered, not understanding why the imperial court had suddenly attacked their mountain stronghold.
By the time he received the message, the attackers had already arrived at his doorstep.
Before they could deploy their own counterfeit products, the counterfeit was decimated.
Knowing there was no way to reverse the situation, he could only escape with a small group of people. Relying on their familiarity with the mountain, they entered the back of the mountain.
Su Dingding chased after him alone.
The leader stopped when he saw that the newcomer was an old man with white hair.
Upon closer inspection, he was a young man around thirty years old who grinned at him, revealing that he was missing two front teeth.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter. "The imperial court really has no one left. They actually sent someone who's neither young nor old. Are they trying to make me laugh to death?"
"Hehehe, wouldn't it be too good for you to die laughing!" As Su Dingding spoke, he had already arrived in front of the leader, grabbed him by the neck with one hand, lifted him into the air, and then slammed him to the ground.
A cloud of dust rose, and a deep, human-shaped crater appeared on the ground, with the leader's wide-open eyes embedded in it.
The bandits who followed him were shocked and scattered in all directions.
Su Dingding pulled a handful of stones from his pocket and threw them. Wherever the stones landed, the bandits fell to the ground.
Su Dingding looked around; it was completely silent.
Brushing the dust off his clothes, Su Dingding strode back with his head held high.
In the deep pit, the leader felt as if all the tendons in his body were broken. He was still conscious, but he couldn't move at all.
He was accompanied by excruciating pain, but only death awaited him!
