<strong>Chapter 442</strong>
“Who is this?” A voice called out while Liu Mang and Kuai Ran were feeling awkward in the carriage .
“Hm?” Liu Mang frowned . The voice belonged to one of Jia Xu’s spies . The sound of a sword being unsheathed could also be heard .
“What’s going on?” Kuai Ran asked Liu Mang . Those outside the carriage were all Liu Mang’s men .
“I also do not know . ” Liu Mang shook his head . “They may have encountered a thief . ” Liu Mang tried tofort Kuai Ran . However, he himself became more worried as the sounds of battle only grew louder . If it was just a thief, Jia Xu and the spies would have been able to get rid of the thief easily as the spies were all chosen from the army . They were people that crawled themselves up from piles of corpses . Even if the enemy was a soldier, they wouldn’t have any problems .
“How dare you! Do you know who is inside this carriage?” Hearing Jia Xu’s men shout this, Liu Mang could not endure himself anymore . “Brother Kuai . Wait inside the carriage . I am going out to take a look . ”
“Brother Wang! It is dangerous outside! It is best to wait inside the carriage!” Kuai Ran was more of an intellectual . Even if he had learned how to use a sword, it was only the minimum required for self-defense . For him, it would be better to stay in the carriage and wait for the incident to be over . After all, they were only at the outer city of Xiangyang instead of outside the city . There would be patrols that woulde to assist once they hear themotion .
“Brother Kuai . It is better for you to remain in the carriage!” Liu Mang was different from Kuai Ran . He had to ability to protect himself and was even strongerpared to Jia Xu’s subordinates . There was no reason for him to remain in the carriage .
After Liu Mang got out of the carriage, he saw a man holding a pitchfork1 with one hand and was carrying a woman the other . The stranger was facing towards Jia Xu and his subordinate .
“Young master . ” Jia Xu addressed when he saw Liu Mange out . He still called Liu Mang that as they were in front of Kuai Ran .
“Kuai Ran is still in the carriage . What is going on here? Who is this man?” Liu Mang asked .
“I also do not know!” Jia Xu shook his head . He too, had only just got off his carriage .
“Move aside! Get me a carriage! Get me a carriage!” The stranger shouted towards Liu Mang’s group repeatedly . His eyes showed his killing intent .
“Milord, be careful . This person is strong . My subordinates could not capture him at all . One of them was even injured by him!” Jia Xu warned . He had brought four subordinates with him . Each of them had the strength of a Third Grade warrior . However, one of them even got himself injured despite there only being one opponent . The stranger had the advantage and his strength could be seen .
“The man is injured . ” Liu Mang suddenly said .
“Hm?” Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang skeptically .
“I said he was already injured . Otherwise, your subordinates would have already been killed!” Liu Mang was no longer likest time . He was now a fierce and powerful warrior . Naturally, he could tell that the opponent was powerful but was not at full strength . The smell of blood helped with his insight . Right now, the stranger was relying on sheer willpower to keep moving .
“He is injured?” Jia Xu was shocked that the pitchfork wielding stranger was injured . He then smelled the blood .
Liu Mang nodded . “Look at the man’s waist . Isn’t it bleeding?” Although it was dark, the moon still made it bright enough to see that the stranger’s waist was wet, either with water or with blood .
What kind of battle did this man go through such that even his clothes is soaked in blood? The pitchfork the man held was the one used by themon masses . 2 He was also dressed like amon Han . However, he was a barbarian .
“A barbarian?” Jia Xu’s insight were sharp . He could tell that something was different about the stranger .
“A barbarian?” Liu Mang did not know when he offended a barbarian . He did not know why this powerful fighter was obstructing their path .
“Milord . This barbarian is not here to obstruct us . He is probably trying to escape . ” Jia Xu said to Liu Mang .
“Escape?” Liu Mang finally remembered that the barbarian was asking for the carriage . He probably needed it to escape .
“Milord . Look at that woman behind him!” Jia Xu pointed at the woman carried behind the barbarian . Although she was covered in bedding, they could still see that she was a woman .
“Kidnapping women in Xiangyang!” Liu Mang became angry . This barbarian really did not show any face to the Han . They even dared toe all the way to Xiangyang to kidnap women .
“Give me a carriage!” The barbarian shouted again .
“A carriage? Hmph! You will be staying here today!” Liu Mang then stretched out his hand . “Give me a sword!” One guard from the carriage then came out and gave Liu Mang a longsword . “Liu Biao . I will protect the safety of Xiangyang! You better thank me for this!”
“Milord . More is worse than less!” Jia Xu tried to stop Liu Mang . Liu Mang may not be able to capture this barbarian on his own, within a short moment . If the patrol arrives before Liu Mang was finished, his identity could no longer be kept .
“Then what should we do?” Liu Mang frowned and put away his sword . He really should not be exposing his identity .
“We make this barbarian back away . ” Jia Xu simply wanted them to be on their way . The less problems the better . What they needed now was to quickly reach Kuai Liang’s residence .
“Fine . Let your men push him back . ” Liu Mang nodded, ordering Jia Xu’s men to force the barbarian to back off . Although the four warriors were no match for the barbarian, the barbarian was injured and also needed to protect the woman .

Can be a pitchfork like the ones used for gardening or a military fork, which is a trident-like weapon with only two pointy ends . Now you tell me .
