The knight reacted immediately, took out the red cloth and raised it a few times, and after a while, someone came to answer it. The knight said: "Quickly inform General Wen that Cai Wenji has run away, I will first go to trace her traces, and ask General Wen to take someone to intercept her, and I must not let her return to Dengzhou alive." ”

After speaking, the knight put away the red cloth and chased in the direction of Cai Wenji's escape. As soon as she crossed the forest, the knight smiled, it turned out that a small river in front of her was blocking the way, Cai Wenji saw that the river was not very deep, so she wanted to cross the river with her horse, but the silt in the center of the river was very thick, and she was trapped in the river with people and horses, so she had to sit on the back of the horse and look around, hoping that someone would come to help.

The knight smiled: "Madame Cai doesn't know how to be watery, this is simple, why don't I find a rope to drag you ashore." ”

Cai Wenji said angrily: "Dreaming, even if I drown here, I will not be used by you to harm my husband." ”

"Hehe, I don't care, I'll take you again when you're cold and hungry, and I'll save a lot of effort."

Cai Wenji listened to his words and was thinking hard about countermeasures, when she suddenly saw a raft rowed upstream, and the old man on the raft was still singing fishing songs happily. Cai Wenji was overjoyed and called loudly: "Old man, can you make it convenient for me to take a ride?" ”

Before the old man could reply, the knight on the shore had changed his face and shouted, "Old man, if you want to live a long time, don't meddle in your affairs, otherwise the knife in my hand will not recognize people." ”

The old man smiled apologetically at Cai Wenji: "Girl, it's not that I don't help you, I really have a big family in my family, and I really can't provoke such a wicked person." Alas, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Cai Wenji said with tears: "Save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter." If you leave like this, old man, I will be poisoned by him, how can you bear it? My husband is Cheng Qiuming of Dengzhou County, if you can save me, he will be rewarded. ”

The old man was taken aback: "It turned out to be Mrs. County, Qiu County Cheng has the grace to recreate Dengzhou, and now Mrs. is in trouble, how dare the little old man not save it?" Madame Hugh, I'll take you on the raft. ”

When the knight saw that the raft was gradually approaching, he was so anxious that he shouted and scolded on the shore, but with Cai Wenji's experience in the past, he did not dare to go down to the river, so he could only watch her being helped onto the raft. Cai Wenji thanked the old man again and again, and looked at the horse that was still trapped in the river and wept, knowing that it was already certain to die and could not be saved.

The river was gentle, and the old man could not shake off the knight who was chasing after him on the shore after a few pennies, so he turned the raft to the side, and there was no bridge here, so the knight could only watch the raft turn into the river.

Wen Ping also knew that Dengzhou was a dangerous place for him and he couldn't stay for a long time, so he only brought a team of more than 100 people to lurk on the periphery. Originally, he was still skeptical about whether Cai Wenji could step into such a crude trap, and he was relieved after getting the news that the prey had been set, but soon there was a rumor from Tanma, saying that Cai Wenji sensed something wrong and found a way to escape. Wen Ping scolded secretly and led the team of 100 people to chase after him.

In order to deal with Qiuming, Wen Ping had already studied the terrain near Dengzhou, and after listening to the knight's words, he immediately said: "No matter how many rivers there are, this river will eventually lead to Bainiu Town, and we will only go to the town to find her." ”

Bainiu Town is a big town in the northeast of Dengzhou City, and it is also a supply point for merchants to and from the autumn market, many goods that are inconvenient to be transported directly into the city are unloaded, sorted and packaged here, which is a bit like the express distribution center of later generations. A lazy laborer looked at the river, and happened to see Cai Wenji being helped ashore by the old man, he laughed loudly: "Daddy Niu, is this the bride for your family's reckless son?" It's really handsome, and you're not afraid of a flower stuck in there. ”

Father Niu suddenly blew his beard and glared, picked up a stone on the spot and smashed it over: "Chewing your tongue and talking nonsense, this is the lady of Qiu County Cheng in the city, how can you be easily abrupt?" ”

Ligong was startled and hurriedly came over to apologize to Cai Wenji. Cai Wenji was soaked in the river just now, and at this moment she just wanted to change into clean clothes and go back to Dengzhou as soon as possible, and followed Father Niu into the town after a few words. After walking a few steps, Father Niu turned around and said, "Madame is being chased and killed by bad people, and if anyone asks, you must not tell her whereabouts." ”

The people nearby were speechless, Qiu County Cheng was like a soil emperor in Dengzhou, even the county magistrate didn't dare to provoke him, several squires in this town were as obedient as dogs when they saw him, such a character, someone dared to hunt down and kill his wife?

These people quickly thought again, not to mention Dengzhou, just look at Bainiu Town was so poor that he couldn't even find a few mice a few years ago, but now it is so rich that milk and honey seem to flow everywhere, isn't all this the credit of Qiu Xiancheng? Our people in Bainiu Town are not ungrateful, and now that the county Cheng's family is in trouble, we have to protect her no matter what.

There was a lot of discussion, and the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was fierce, and the pursuers of Wen Ping had already chased them outside the town. Seeing the raft on the river, the leading knight said excitedly: "This is the raft, they must have entered the town." ”

At this moment, there were one or two thousand people busy working by the river, but Wen Ping was not afraid, raised his horsewhip and asked, "Who saw the people who came down from the raft going?" ”

There was no response, if it weren't for the strong clothes on these people and the knives and guns in their hands, the laborers would have rushed to it. Although they didn't dare to act rashly now, their cold eyes explained their mood very well.

Wen Ping's face stiffened, he jumped off the horse, walked to a little girl playing on the side of the road and said, "Little sister, did you see where that woman went just now?" ”

The little girl, who was only about five or six years old, did not know much about adults, and she looked in both directions, her father carrying a sack in front of the car, and her mother washing clothes by the river, all of them shaking their heads at her secretly. She shook her head and said, "I can't say that." ”

Wen Ping laughed: "The child is the most honest, she won't say she doesn't know, she will only say what she can't say, it seems that Cai Wenji is indeed hiding in this town." Suddenly, his smile condensed: "Since you can't say it, then you don't need to say it anymore", I saw a flash of the knife, and the little girl's head suddenly rose from her neck, and blood spurted out of her neck.

The crowd erupted in exclamations, the little girl's mother immediately fainted on the riverbank, and her father threw down the sack, red eyes and roared to rush over to fight for his life, but was immediately stabbed to death by random gun. There were originally some merchant guards in the town, but when they saw that these people were coming viciously, they hid in the town and didn't dare to come out.
