Under the mountain rock, Bai Wang, who was soaked all over, curled up in the corner and shivered coldly, but he couldn't make a fire to keep warm, the rain on his forehead slid down his cheeks, he reached out and wiped a handful and spit, and he couldn't see his five fingers in the pitch black, but the sound of squirming showed that there were many people around.

How many years have passed, Bai Wang can't calm down and recall the past carefully, at the moment he is most eager to escape from the pursuit of officers and soldiers, all the actions of the little eunuch are beyond his expectations, including the speed of this pursuit into the mountains is so urgent.

Fortunately, although this heavy rain made me suffer a lot, it also brought trouble to the officers and soldiers, and at the same time covered up some traces, otherwise it might have been exposed and bitten by the officers and soldiers.

A few fiascos in a few days hit Bai Wang fatally, at this time, he had to bear it in one breath, otherwise he would have collapsed a long time ago, but in order to survive, in order not to disperse people's hearts, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, and even had to encourage the rout soldiers around him, but even so, he knew that people's hearts were on the verge of collapse, and people fled from time to time along the way from Shimashan to here, even the most blind people knew that he was going to be in danger at this time, and it would be in vain to follow him not to die.

At this time, it should have been up to the people to disperse, but Bai Wang was worried that the deserters would betray his escape route, so he ordered his own soldiers to keep an eye on it, but anyone who showed signs of escaping would be killed first.

However, what made him unacceptable was that even his own soldiers had escaped, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, and even made him suspicious, and he was not so relieved about the henchmen around him, for fear that they would suddenly slaughter him to receive the reward.

Under the double blow of body and mind, he was crumbling and almost exhausted, but fortunately, he still had the last comfort in his heart, Yuan Sanzhong, a general who was loyal to him.

Along the way, Yuan Sanzhong planned an escape route for him to confuse the enemy behind his palace, and worked hard for him in everything, which greatly moved Bai Wang, and vowed that he would live up to him when he made a comeback in the future.

"Dashuai, let's eat something," Yuan Sanzhong came out of the shadows, holding a rain-stained nest head in his hand and handing it to Bai Wang, then shook the rain on his body, frowned, and said, "I don't know how long this rain will take."

"If it takes a long time, maybe we can take the opportunity to escape this catastrophe" Bai Wang sighed and stuffed the nest head into his mouth, and Yuan Sanzhong also sighed: "The rain may be able to force the officers and soldiers back, but it is not a good thing for our morale, and it is ...... right now."

"Terrible, isn't it?" Bai Wang slowly put down the nest head in his hand, in fact, this sentence is redundant, since the fiasco last night, everyone fled like a lack of food and drink in the mountains, not to mention that the physical strength can not last, plus at this time everyone knows that there are tens of thousands of troops in the rear to chase and suppress, and the morale of the army under this heavy pressure can be imagined.

"It's bad!" Yuan Sanzhong sighed: "I escaped a lot, but I also came back a little."

"Coming back?" Bai Wang was stunned.

Yuan Sanzhong nodded: "Every half an hour, I will count the number of people, I have a number of left, of course, not everyone escapes, this day it is normal for Lin Zimi to get scattered and get lost, and some of the people who were scattered before touched back."

Bai Wang sighed: "And then you killed them?" ”

Yuan Sanzhong smiled: "It's better to kill them than to be killed by them."

Bai Wang also smiled.

"Dashuai, you see that they are going to the west, this dog eunuch is very good!" Yuan Sanzhong raised his hand and pointed to see the fire of the Yunguang Temple at the foot of the mountain, a stream of fire snaked up the mountain, and the larger one went west, and then the far north direction The firelight was scattered all over the radius for several miles.

"After all, you are a step ahead," Bai Wang shook his head with a wry smile.

A few hours ago, Bai Wang heard that tens of thousands of troops entered the mountain, panicked, did not care about ambushing Wang Zamao, left Yuan Sanzhong to confuse the enemy, he led his troops to flee to the mountain, to Liu Feng Mountain, the Yunguang Temple was plundered, there were a few monks arrested, asked about the surrounding terrain, and the information obtained was not much different from the king's body.

You can hide from the pursuers when you enter the mountain, but the rations can only support three or five days, but the army will definitely surround the mountain for more than three or five days, so Bai Wang's first reaction is to go to the Grand Canyon in the west and walk along the Baiyang River......

Just when he led his troops to leave, Yuan Sanzhong in the back arrived and asked about the situation, but persuaded to go into the mountains to avoid first, because the little eunuch in the rear who could think of it could also think of it, and it was not easy to be found to be able to go to the canyon to dodge, and there was no resistance to catch up, but it was different when entering the deep mountains, the mountains were high and the forests were dense and easy to Tibetans, even if they were found to only occupy a dangerous place to defend and confront them, and although the grain and grass were insufficient, at this time, the wild fruits in the mountains were abundant and hunting some game should be able to last for a while, and the worst detour from the deep mountains could also go out of the mountain.

And the sentence that touched Bai Wang the most was that the people under his hands couldn't escape.

So he went up the mountain to hide in the forest, and at this time, seeing the fire under the mountain, the soldiers were divided into two ways, Bai Wang also gasped, fortunately, he didn't run to the west on impulse at that time, otherwise he would soon be caught up.

The sky was slightly bright, the rain was slightly light, Chang Yu got up in the village on the shore of Aconitum Lake to relieve himself, and when he saw Wu Zhong walking in from outside the courtyard with a knife, he muttered: "A few blind people can still be sent to the door" Chang Yu asked him curiously what he meant, Wu Zhong said that in the dark post on the west side of the village, he found a few thieves coming early in the morning, who sent information from Anqing, and were shot and killed on the spot.

"Is there anything useful to ask?" Chang Yu asked while washing, Wu Zhong shook his head: "The thief army over there can't cross the river at all, and it's just a routine matter to inform Bai Wang in Chizhou, but I don't know that Chizhou City has already been served by us."

Li Muxian raised his head from the room and looked at the sky and stretched: "This rain will not stop for a while and a half, we can rest here."

"That being the case, let's take a good rest, this governor will take the first step," Yu Hehe smiled, Li Muxian was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly went to wash, and shouted to everyone to get up and make a fire to make a meal and prepare to leave.

The road is muddy, everyone braves the rain along the bank of the Qiupu River to continue to the southwest, all the way little but hunts a lot of game, more than 30 miles of the day is close to noon, and the road ahead suddenly becomes extremely narrow, everyone knows that it is to the place where the Yangtze River bends.

On one side is the rolling Yangtze River, and on the other side is the rolling hills and lakes and swamps, this kind of road condition is really a headache, no wonder Lu Daqi dragged Chang Yu before to let him be careful and careful.

However, Chang Yu and his entourage are bold and bold, knowing that there is no large army of thieves in front of them, only scattered spies, and they have no scruples, and dozens of horsemen are running on the official road in the rain, attracting the attention of pedestrians hiding on the side of the road.

There are pedestrians, which means that there is a village near the left, and sure enough, there is news in front of the news that there is a big town near the river three miles away, and he is leading people to search for thieves in the town.

The town is located in the place where the Yangtze River bends, there is a small hill called Niutou Mountain by the river, so the town is called Niutoushan Town, because it is located in the official road must pass through the town, the teahouse, wine shop inn is readily available, providing a full range of services for the travelers.

It's just that after the thief army crosses the border, there is no prosperity in the past, and because the thief army has come in, the secret is too dense, and there are few kinds of attacks, and it is even more deserted, at this time Chang Yu is sitting in a teahouse to rest, the shopkeeper heard that it is the officers and soldiers who are still trembling, and they are careful to serve the tea and water, after all, the officers and soldiers are no better than the thief army in these years.

Guo Ren entered the town early in the morning, and according to the clues provided by the villagers, he directly searched for a few thieves, and after a brief interrogation, he directly chopped them up and threw them into the river.

"Dugong, more than thirty miles further on, you will reach the opposite side of Anqing City, where there is a big ferry port and a big town......" Guo Renjian reported to Chang Yu the confession he had obtained from the thief army.

Chang Yu's face was expressionless when he heard this, and he looked out at the rain and frowned slightly, so he called the shopkeeper to let him prepare some food, and the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and dozens of people really couldn't afford to entertain them.

Chen Ruxin took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and put it in front of the shopkeeper: "We have to eat well!" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the silver and swallowed his saliva, stretched out his hand to take it: "Ladies and gentlemen, you will go to the other villagers' houses in the town to piece together the ingredients."

"What is the Taoist Leader thinking?" Chang Yu saw Li Muxian sitting by the window staring at the river opposite.

Li Muxian turned his head: "Are you thinking about Li Yan breaking the city, and are you thinking about catching Bai Wang in the king's body?" ”

Chang Yu was stunned, walked to the door of the store, stretched out his hand, and then looked at Jiang Jing not far away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ben Du guess...... None of them! ”

"Does the Governor mean that both things are difficult to do?" Li Muxian frowned, Chang Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "If Anqing Li Yan breaks the city, if Chizhou captures Bai Wang, someone will already come to report at this time."

cough, Li Muxian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thought the overseer had any high opinions."

Li Yan laughed: "The governor has done his best, and the rest is the mandate of heaven, whether he gets it or not is expected by the governor, and now the governor is more concerned about eating a full meal and wearing clean clothes."

As soon as the words fell, the guards around him reacted, Chen Suole hurriedly walked to the back door of the store, Chen Wangting knew that he wanted to find a clean dress for Chang Yu, but he still grabbed him, and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb the people"

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll give you the silver" Chen Suole hurriedly said, and Chen Wangting let go.

No matter what dynasty has money, it is easy to do things, as long as the money is in place, things are not only done quickly but also very thoroughly, the store took ten taels of silver and worked hard, mobilizing the power of the entire village to serve Chang Yu, dozens of people, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, there are soups, and if you can't sit in the teahouse, you can go to the restaurant next door, although the restaurant has long been closed.

Everyone feasted happily, and the shopkeeper took some dry clothes and hats, of course, these were not given for free, the reason why they took the initiative to send them was because Chen Suole took a piece of clothes from his family just now to give silver, and as soon as this matter was spread, the villagers could still sit still, and they searched for their clothes in exchange for silver.

Chang Yu never took the people's things in vain, and the people around him took him as an example and never took advantage of him or were stingy, because the salaries of the guards were very high, and they each bought some things they needed from the villagers.
