Chapter 640: No Harm Done
Just as everyone thought that Viscount Liu would not be able to escape this time.
Pei Qianyun let out a fierce shout, first clamping his legs tightly against the horse's belly, then leaping up with force, swinging the two Golden Hammers in his hands. In this hair-breadth moment, when everyone felt that Viscount Liu had no way to escape, Pei Qianyun made an astonishing reaction in an instant.
Under his powerful kick, the two horses were first struck by this forceful assault; the horses' ferocity was stimulated by the sharp pain, and they raised their heads and neighed.
With another burst of immense strength, the two horses were already bleeding from their seven orifices, their front legs lifted, and their bodies almost lost their center of gravity.
Pei Qianyun seized the opportunity and used his giant hammers to smash the two horses with force; these two horses actually flew up just like that! Heading into the air, the massive body of one horse was estimated to weigh two hundred jin, yet it was smashed into the air by Pei Qianyun with a single hammer strike!
"What?"
Tie Mucheng and the others all had their expressions change drastically as they watched.
What kind of person is this?
How can he be so fierce?
Pei Qianyun naturally did not stop; the Horse Carriage continued to move, and as he fell back, he blasted the other two horses to death with a punch and grabbed them with his hands.
In an instant.
Four horses took to the air simultaneously, flying in different directions.
"A bunch of barbarians, daring to harm my Young Master!"
Pei Qianyun also arrived on the roof of the carriage at the same time, his expression ferocious as he roared.
At this moment, he seemed like a god or demon descended to earth, invincible.
At the same time.
Those eight arrows had also reached the side of the Horse Carriage.
And then, just like that, they were blocked outside by the bodies of the four horses and Pei Qianyun's golden hammers!
Of the eight arrows, not a single one shot through!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The Horse Carriage was still moving by its own momentum.
After blocking all these arrows, Pei Qianyun landed with a thud.
He used his own body to prop up the Horse Carriage that was about to collapse.
Continuing.
Continuing to gallop.
Pei Qianyun, born with divine strength, left everyone on the scene dumbfounded and in disbelief.
"My god..."
Zhebie's face was deathly pale.
What kind of beast is this?
Tie Mucheng frowned even more deeply.
Silence.
At this moment, those clamoring Grassland Cavalry also watched all of this in silence.
The whole scene, apart from the sound of the Horse Carriage galloping and Pei Qianyun's angry shouts.
There was no other sound.
Frightened.
Everyone was frightened.
"Qianyun, Qianyun!"
Liu Zheng felt incomparably pained at this moment; he knew Pei Qianyun was very strong, but after all, he was not a noble of this ancient era and could not accept his brother pulling a carriage to carry him.
Pei Qianyun, however, laughed heartily: "Young Master, sit tight. Is my carriage pulling steady enough?"
The strength of one man, comparable to four horses!
Liu Zheng hurriedly gave a bitter smile: "Stop, stop! Quickly, I am ordering you!"
Only then did Pei Qianyun mutter a word and bring the Horse Carriage to a halt.
Tie Mucheng and the others had long since ridden over.
The two got off the carriage, and Liu Zheng looked coldly at this Qiang man, sneering: "Tie Mucheng, we are here to negotiate. May I ask what this means?"
Zhebie just wanted to explain, but was stopped by Tie Mucheng, who smiled faintly: "If Tie Mucheng says it was the soldiers in training who made a mistake, would Viscount Liu believe it?"
He laughed loudly: "At least, that is what they say! But they are all brothers of Tie Mucheng; if there is any blame, come find me!"
Liu Zheng could not help but be stunned, and he exchanged a glance with Prince Yong.
This Tie Mucheng is not easy to deal with!
This person's breadth of mind is beyond that of ordinary people. With this sentence, he did not deny anything and directly took the blame upon himself, which had the effect of deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces, making it difficult for others to blame him.
Liu Zheng also laughed loudly: "Your elite cavalry's training method is so rugged, no wonder you can dominate the world. No matter, no matter!"
The three of them left the Horse Carriage at the same time and walked over.
Tie Mucheng's eyes also lit up.
It is said that Viscount Liu is no ordinary person, and seeing him now, it is indeed so.
That was a life-and-death moment just now, yet he laughed it off; his bearing is astonishing!
"Hahahaha!"
Tie Mucheng finally dismounted and walked arm-in-arm with Liu Zheng.
"Viscount Liu's general is also born with divine strength, making others envious!"
Liu Zheng smiled: "Not a subordinate, but a brother."
Tie Mucheng was taken aback: "Brother, yes, all brothers!"
In their Qiang Grassland, they like to address each other as brothers; he did not expect that the Longyan Dynasty, which values etiquette and hierarchy the most, would also produce such a free-spirited person as Viscount Liu.
This made Tiemucheng's heart tighten once more.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The group walked toward Tiemucheng's tent, with Grassland Cavalry all along the way, their momentum astonishing.
The three of them were likewise dauntless; the Grassland was a place that revered the strong, and Pei Qianyun's performance just now had won the respect of many.
Tiemucheng and the others were observing this Liu Prefect known throughout the world.
Liu Zheng was doing the same, observing the state of these elite Grassland troops.
Very strong!
Their individual combat ability was absolutely beyond reproach.
Any unit would find it a headache to face such a powerful army.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
The Xiongnu Army of the past also had very strong individual combat ability, yet they were still beaten back by Liu Zheng, and were now facing imminent national extinction.
The most important thing was.
Under Tiemucheng's leadership and training, this army had strict discipline and obeyed every order.
This was what Liu Zheng found most terrifying.
"Prefect Liu, please!"
Looking at the yurt, which was quite familiar from his past life, Liu Zheng smiled slightly and, surrounded by Tiemucheng and the others, walked into the tent.
Inside was once again the decor style of the Qiang Grassland, with everyone sitting on the floor.
In the tent, the specialty delicacies of the Qiang had long been prepared: butter tea, mare's milk wine, as well as tea snacks and dairy foods. Outside the tent, a pot had already been set over a fire of cow dung; that was the famous hand-grabbed meat of this Grassland, and its taste was simply extraordinary.
Sure enough.
A fierce warrior like Pei Qianyun had also won himself a seat with his performance just now.
The three sat down, and immediately, Grassland women came over to perform a dance.
The rugged, wild style, along with the magnificent and imposing drumbeats, was a feast for the eyes.
Zhebie had failed to take down Liu Zheng in his assassination attempt earlier; although he was unwilling to accept it, he was convinced by Pei Qianyun. At this moment, sitting beside Tiemucheng, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Prefect Liu, how does this dance compare to your martial dance? This was designed by our Great Khan after he saw the dance you choreographed!"
"Oh?"
Liu Zheng and the Prince of Yong were both surprised.
"I didn't expect the Great Khan to be a person who enjoys dance and music as well."
Liu Zheng smiled and praised.
Tiemucheng raised his wine goblet to offer a toast and said with a leisurely smile: "Tiemucheng has revered Longyan Culture since childhood, so I am quite proficient in the Longyan Six Arts. Unfortunately, among the Longyan people, the Qiang have always been barbarians... Recently, Tiemucheng has yearned even more for the culture of the Central Plains, and I am truly reluctant to leave after lingering here... Prefect Liu, is there a way to satisfy both sides, and teach me?"
Here it comes!
Liu Zheng's heart tightened as he heard this.
Having just experienced real blades and swords, the verbal Bitter Remonstrance between the clinking of cups had officially begun.
