Crossroads.

Yang Huairen had just passed here, and in less than an hour, General Su Wei led hundreds of people to chase after him.

General Su Wei originally wanted to turn his head and continue to chase south, but he suddenly thought in his heart that Yang Huairen was so shrewd, how could he directly turn his head to the south and take the most obvious road to escape back to the Great Song Dynasty?

Subconsciously he turned his head to look at the opposite north, is it possible for Yang Huairen to go the opposite way, and then go around a big circle to the west, returning to the Great Song Dynasty from the western route?

He wanted to turn his horse's head to be chased again, but he suddenly felt so empty in his heart, and he thought that Yang Huairen would not sing the empty city plan, and he calculated that the people chasing him would not think that he would go directly to the south, but he would go south?

General Su Wei's mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

An adjutant general anxiously asked, "General, we can't delay any longer, which way are we going to go?" ”

General Su Wei said the doubts in his heart, and asked several lieutenant generals to help with the details, several lieutenant generals and staff generals had different opinions, each with its own reason, but in the end, no one dared to be sure which path Yang Huairen took.

The army of the Su Guard stood stupidly at the crossroads, waiting for the general to make a final decision.

There was a muffled thunder, and suddenly the scenery in the distance was hazy, and heavy rain poured down.

General Su Wei looked back at Zhongjing City, and his heart was full of sorrow, today's errand is not a good errand, His Majesty asked him to chase Yang Huairen, but he actually didn't understand why this was in his heart.

But now that the emperor's order has come down, he has no choice. Especially His Majesty's last sentence "try to catch it alive" made him a little frightened.

What happened between Yang Huairen and His Majesty? It stands to reason that Yang Huairen also played a great role in the process of His Majesty's smooth accession to the throne, but why did His Majesty say such a thing with a gloomy face today?

General Su Wei didn't understand, he originally thought that with Yang Huairen's friendship, he would rise to the top in the future, although General Su Wei's position was not low, but he couldn't enter the power core of the Khitan court.

But now everything is in vain, if Yang Huairen and His Majesty turn against each other, he can only follow His Majesty's will and arrest Yang Huairen to return to Beijing.

The question comes again, Yang Huairen is Princess Anguo's concubine, His Majesty has always loved Princess Anguo the most, if he acts impartially and takes Yang Huairen back, then what will Princess Anguo think of him in the future?

In any case, he is not a human being inside and out, so what are the great prospects to talk about?

This thunderstorm was very big, and there was no intention of stopping, and the soldiers looked at the general in a daze as they looked at the rain and fog, and had no choice but to stay in the pouring rain.

General Su Wei went to look at his lieutenant generals and generals, and could only shake his head and sigh, what kind of goods are these goods, he knows best in his heart, when it comes to martial arts and loyalty, they have no problem, and when it comes to wisdom...... Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself.

He thought about it for a while, whether it was positive logic or anti-logic, it seemed to be tenable, no matter which side he chased, the chance of catching up with Yang Huairen was almost five-five.

In the end, he made a decision, the brigade was divided into two, he led half of the men and horses to the south, and ordered the deputy general to lead the other half of the men and horses to the north.

The adjutant general patted his ass, saying that it was best for the general to do this, and Yang Huairen couldn't escape from the general's palm no matter what. As he spoke, he raised his hand and clenched his fist hard, as if there was a thumb guy named Yang Huairen struggling to save his life in the fist.

At this time, an adjutant general scratched his head and asked, "Adjutant general, why is it best to divide the troops into two ways?" Is it not possible for the horses to flee east? ”

The adjutant general's ass was on the head, and was interrupted by this kid, as if he hadn't had a good time, he slapped the general on the head, glared and scolded, "You are stupid?" Where does the colt go east? Did you really take advantage of such a heavy rain to go fishing in Lari Lake, or are you going to go to Taibai Mountain to pick mushrooms? A sucker! ”

The general crooked his mouth and apologized, "The last general knows that he is wrong, and the last general knows that he is wrong." ”

General Su Wei could only continue to sigh, if these people were one-tenth as smart as Yang Huairen, he wouldn't have to be so tired as a general, but after thinking about it, if that was really the case, the position of General Su Wei would have nothing to do with him.

"Don't make any noise, hurry up and catch up, it's raining heavily, and they won't be able to go fast, maybe we can catch up in an hour."

Remember, if you want to catch the horse alive, don't offend the princess, otherwise the princess will sue you to your majesty and tell you to walk around without eating! ”

When the subordinates heard this, they immediately felt embarrassed, and then they remembered that the princess and the colt were together, how could this be good?

If you catch the horse, you will inevitably offend the princess, and the result is to find death, and you don't want to offend the princess.

But I got rid of the horse, and I couldn't communicate with His Majesty when I went back, and I had to offend people back and forth, and I didn't have any good fruit to eat if I offended either side.

The lieutenant snorted bitterly, and then led half of the men and horses to gallop north, but he kept praying in his heart, hoping that the colt and the princess did not go this way, and he would not have to face the thorny problem.

The general of the guard shouted to the lieutenant general, "If you don't see the horse and the princess after chasing fifty miles, you will take people back here and wait for my news!" ”

With that, he waved his whip at the men and horses behind him, and the soldiers turned their horses and followed the general to the south.

……

A sudden heavy rain soaked everyone's clothes, so Yang Huairen led everyone to find a nearby village to hide from the rain.

Looking at the heavy rain pouring from the sky, Brother Tianba sighed, "This heavy rain of his daughter is really not at the right time, it doesn't come early or late, but we come when we run, and I don't know if Brother Hei Niu has a place to hide from the rain." ”

Yang Huairen smiled, "Don't worry, in such a day, who doesn't know how to find a place to shelter from the rain?" ”

Saying this, Yang Huairen was actually worried about the other two groups led by Brother Hei Niu and Lu Jinyi.

However, by taking advantage of the time to hide from the rain, everyone can take the opportunity to change their clothes and dress, and wait for the rain to stop before hurrying, which will be less noticeable.

Sister Ghost rolled her eyes and suddenly laughed, "This heavy rain can't be said to have come at the wrong time, there are pros and cons." ”

Tianba's younger brother stiffened his face and didn't understand, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" ”

The ghost sister glanced at Yang Huairen, and when she saw that he also had the same smile on his face, she knew that he had thought of it a long time ago, so she explained to Brother Tianba, "With such a heavy rain, we can't catch the road, and the people who are chasing us can't catch the road either?"

There is also a very important point, we went out of the city this morning, all on horseback, more than 100 people, will always leave some traces for the people chasing behind, but the rain is raining heavily, and the rain washes away the traces we have walked through, is it a great favor for us? ”
