Thinking of this, Xia Yuanwei was even more irritable, thinking of Xia Qiang, who was loyal to him, I am afraid that he would also fall into the hands of the other party.

The more Xia Yuanwei thought about it, the more upset he became, raised his horsewhip, and whipped it down fiercely.

Xia Yuanwei drove the carriage fast and brought up a puff of light smoke on the official road.

In order to find the carriage, Lu Dashi set off late, although they drove the carriage fast and chased it all the way to Zhangjia Village, they did not catch up with Xia Yuanwei.

Lu Dashi was impatient, because he knew that as long as Xia Yuanwei crossed the Huaishui River, he would never be able to catch up.

The carriage ran with all its might, and soon passed through Zhangjia Village and rushed towards the dock.

This section of the official road has many forks, and horse-drawn carts carrying goods from all over the country will pass through this road to the wharf, and then load the goods to the other side.

Looking at the carriages coming and going on the official road, Lu Dashi was so anxious that beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and finally, he simply stood in front of the carriage and observed the movement in front.

After a long day's effort, he finally arrived at the dock, Lu Dashi left the coachman to watch the carriage, and told him that he must wait for them and not go first.

After urging the coachman, Lu Dashi led his brothers to the dock to look for Xia Yuanwei.

There are pedestrians, goods, and people carrying goods on the dock, making the dock even more crowded.

Lu Dashi walked among the pedestrians, but his eyes kept looking at both sides.

Now there are a total of three boats parked on the dock, and seeing that there is no trace of Xia Yuanwei on the dock, Lu Dashi hurriedly asked people to get on the boat to search.

It's hard to find someone on the bustling docks.

Lu Dashi had never been to this pier, he thought it was just a small pier, and there was just a small boat on the pier, but he didn't expect that there were so many people on this pier.

Lu Dashi wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his eyes kept looking around.

After more than half an hour of searching, the brothers all came back dejected.

No, whether on the dock or on the ship, there is no trace of Xia Yuanwei.

Lu Dashi was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the slowly moving boat.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanwei still ran away.

Lu Dashi turned around, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a problem, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

There was no one on the dock anymore, or rather, there were very few people.

What does this mean, it shows that the boats on this pier are not ready to move at any time, but have time.

At this moment, a man with a cart happened to come from the front, Lu Dashi hurriedly grabbed him, and asked with a smile.

"This big brother, I want to ask you something!"

The man first wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said with a smile, "If you say something, I know it, and I will tell you." ”

Lu Dashi nodded, "What time did the boats on this pier depart from here?" ”

"Twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon."

"Big brother, do you mean that the ship that left before the one that was sent away was two hours ago?"

The man nodded, "The boat just now was an afternoon boat, and the morning boat had already been sent away." ”

When Lu Dashi heard this, he hurriedly thanked the man, and casually took out a few copper coins from his arms and threw them to the other party.

"This big brother, please hurry up, I'm done."

The man pinched the copper coins in his hand, the smile on his face became stronger, he waved his hand, and said, "I think you seem to be in a hurry, in fact, you don't have goods, just a few of you, you can go to Liuzhuang, twenty miles downstream, where there are a few small boats that can carry people across the river." ”

"Liuzhuang!"

When Lu Dashi heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, thinking that there would be no boat on this dock in the afternoon, and Xia Yuanwei would not be able to cross the river, but he didn't expect that another willow village would appear.

Without further ado, Lu Dashi hurriedly inquired about the direction of Liuzhuang from the man, and then led his brothers to jump into the carriage and gallop away in the direction of Liuzhuang.

The carriage moved forward at full speed, running for about 10 miles, and the carriage suddenly slowed down, and Lu Dashi was puzzled in his heart, and was about to ask the coachman.

The coachman in front of him had already turned his head and said with a wry smile, "My lord, I can't run anymore, the horse is too tired to work." ”

Lu Dashi was startled, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the horse in front of him.

At this time, the horse pulling the cart was also quite miserable, his body was already soaked with sweat, the white foam in his mouth had been thrown everywhere, and he kept snorting.

Although Lu Dashi doesn't understand horses, when he sees the appearance of this horse, he also knows that if this horse runs again, he is afraid that he will hang up directly.

He had heard someone say that.

There are dead horses, no tired cows.

Although I don't know if it's true or not, looking at the state of this horse, if it weren't for the coachman's experience, he would have stopped early, and he might have died of exhaustion.

Lu Dashi jumped out of the carriage first, waved his hand to the brothers in the carriage, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's run to chase Xia Yuanwei." ”

After everyone got out of the carriage, Lu Dashi said to the coachman, "You can rest here, and when the horses are rested, you will go back." ”

The coachman nodded, and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you." ”

The horse had been with him for years, and he really didn't want to see it exhausted.

Lu Dashi walked to the horse's head again, reached out and wiped the white foam on the horse's chin, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ma." ”

After Lu Dashi finished speaking, he turned around and shouted at his brothers.

"Brothers, let's go after Xia Yuanwei."

Lu Dashi took the lead in running forward, and Lu Shui and the others behind him also screamed strangely when they saw this, and ran forward with Lu Dashi.

Everyone was a child from the village with strong physical strength, and it was really not a problem to run a little way, but in a moment, they ran away with a strange scream.

Lu Dashi was a little strange, the carriage he made ran so far, the horse was so tired that he couldn't stand it, but why did Xia Yuanwei's carriage run so far.

Since last night, the carriage has been running, from Wei Zhanzong's cemetery, all the way to Gejiazhuang, and then from Gejiazhuang all the way to the dock, and then from the dock to here, their carriage can still run, what is going on.

In terms of distance, the distance traveled by that carriage was almost twice as long as that of this carriage, why haven't you seen any trace of that carriage yet?

Could it be that Xia Yuanwei did not come this way, but hid somewhere else, preparing to cross the river by boat tomorrow morning.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, looking at the road is not far, but walking is quite far.

Lu Dashi was like this, he saw a turn in front of him, but they ran for so long and didn't run to that corner.
