In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Chapter 137 Li Bin Falls off a Cliff

Li Bin rode on a fine horse, led by two servants who were proficient in martial arts, and galloped on the wide official road. The sun shone obliquely, the dust flew, and the three of them swept across the land like a gust of wind. The servant Xiao Zhang looked around nervously, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Bin: "Master, it looks so quiet around, we must be far away from the county town, about ten miles away. In this wilderness, no one should chase us."

Li Bin's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced around. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved and said, "That's great. Let's continue moving forward. Go north, there is a small town over there, we can go there to rest for a while."

Xiao Zhang responded, "Yes!" The three of them then spurred their horses and continued galloping towards the north.

Soon, they came to a remote forest, and the three horses stopped to rest under the shade of the trees. Xiao Zhang took a pot of water from the saddle and handed it to Li Bin respectfully. Li Bin took the pot, took a few sips, and handed the pot to the other two servants. All three of them looked exhausted, and their clothes were soaked, obviously because of the long journey.

Li Bin put down the kettle and looked around. He saw that the forest looked bleak due to drought, with withered trees and fallen leaves. He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the forest. A tall man was seen riding horses with a dozen soldiers. The sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, startling the birds living in the forest, and a burst of screams resounded through the sky.

Li Bin's pupils shrank as he recognized the man as Liu Fei, the personal guard of General Liu. He thought something was wrong and was about to mount his horse when he saw Liu Fei approaching him. Liu Fei stared at Li Bin expressionlessly and said coldly, "Mr. Li, why did you come to this remote place?"

Li Bin knew something was wrong, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "General Liu, I am going to my hometown on my father's orders."

Liu Fei sneered and said, "Go back home? The world is in chaos now, and bandits are rampant on the roads. Isn't this just walking into a trap for Mr. Li?" He paused and said, "Mr. Li, you should just come back with me."

Li Bin's face darkened and he said, "Why do you control me? I know my limits!"

Liu Fei's face turned cold, and he said sternly: "I am the general's personal guard! How dare you disrespect me!"

Li Bin sneered and said, "How have you ever respected me? I am a scholar, how can I allow warriors like you to look down on me!"

Liu Fei was furious and shouted, "Catch him!"

At his command, twenty soldiers rushed towards Li Bin like wolves and tigers. Seeing this, Li Bin's two servants drew their swords and bravely rushed forward. For a moment, the forest was filled with flashing swords and clashes.

However, Li Bin's two servants were no match for the soldiers and were defeated under the siege. One of the servants rushed to Li Bin and shouted, "Master, hurry up! We will buy you some time!"

Li Bin did not hesitate, jumped on his horse, and galloped away. Seeing this, Liu Fei's face turned pale, he drew his spear, and chased after him. He shouted as he chased, "Chase! Be sure to stop him!"

Li Bin looked back and saw Liu Fei chasing him closely. He was extremely anxious. Although he could ride a horse, he was still inferior to these warriors. He could only whip the horse desperately, hoping to escape from danger.

However, just as he was about to rush out of the woods, the horse suddenly stumbled and threw him out. Li Bin fell heavily on the cliff, grimacing in pain.

Liu Fei rode up on his horse, looking down at Li Bin with contempt on his face. He said coldly: "Humph! How dare a mere son of a county magistrate disobey the general! He is simply courting death!"

After saying that, he reached out to grab Li Bin's package. Li Bin knew that the package contained his father's memorials, and he must not let them fall into the hands of these people. He struggled to get up and rolled towards the cliff next to him holding the package.

Li Bin used up his last bit of strength and rolled down to a bush on the edge of the cliff. He hugged the package tightly in his arms, and the sweat mixed with dust stuck to his face, stinging his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Liu Fei, who was looking down at him and grinning, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Liu Fei, don't even think about taking this thing away!" Li Bin shouted, struggling to stand up. He clenched his fists, knowing that he was far behind these soldiers, but at this moment he had no way out.

Seeing Li Bin so stubborn, Liu Fei was even more angry. He waved the spear in his hand, pointed it at Li Bin, and shouted, "Go! Catch him, dead or alive!"

"Master Liu! The cliff here is dozens of feet high! There is no possibility of survival if you fall down like this! We'd better evacuate as soon as possible after all, this matter cannot be made public!" At this time, a subordinate advised!

Liu Fei's expression froze when he heard this. He looked down at the bottom of the cliff and saw a dark area below. Even with his skill, it was difficult to see clearly. There was a deep valley below the cliff, so there was no possibility that Li Bin would survive.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart also disappeared a lot, he just felt weak all over, and a trace of regret rose in his heart. He was indeed reckless this time, and he didn't expect Li Bin to be so stubborn.

"Don't tell anyone about this!"

Liu Fei gritted his teeth. He knew that if this secret was leaked, the Liu family would be implicated. Therefore, he was willing to take risks to keep this matter secret.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately answered in unison: "Yes!"

"Very good! In that case, you can go back to Xishan County."

As soon as Liu Fei finished speaking, a group of soldiers turned their horses and quickly returned in the direction they came from. When all the soldiers left, Liu Fei turned around and looked at the valley, sighed, and murmured: "Li Bin, I'm sorry!"

As he spoke, he rode his horse towards Xishan County...

In Kaoshan Village, not far from where the battle took place, the people on guard had already noticed the situation here. Someone immediately reported it to Sun Ying!

"Brother Sun! The brothers found a group of soldiers chasing someone at the foot of the mountain!"

After listening to this, Sun Ying frowned and asked, "Officers and soldiers? What's going on?"

The sentry replied: "I don't know the specific situation!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ying immediately gave the order: "Let everyone get ready to see if the fire soldiers are coming for our Kaoshan Village!"

"Brother Sun! The soldiers are most likely to kill our people! Please let me take some people to check the situation! If it is our brother, we must rescue him!" Zhang Shan thought that his brother had escaped and was being hunted by the soldiers.

"In that case, let's go together and see what happens!" Lin Kunlun said at this time!

The soldier took the order and left. Sun Ying, Zhang Shan, and Lin Kunlun came to a hilltop at the valley and looked into the distance!
