023 Walk with beauty

Mi Zhen is wearing a black robe, with long black hair tied in a bun on the top of her head, and a scarf on it, which looks like a jade tree is in the wind, handsome and chic, and graceful, which can be called the dragon and phoenix among people.

If Mi Zhen is really a man, I am afraid that I will lose thousands of girls.

She ran to Zhang Yan's side out of breath, took two breaths first, and then said, "Why don't you wait for me?" ”

Zhang Yan snorted coldly and said, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Miss Mi." Didn't you say you weren't going back with me? ”

"Who wants to go back with you, if it weren't for my second brother, I wouldn't go back with you."

After Mi Zhen finished speaking, she turned around and got into the carriage, waited for a long time, and still didn't see any movement, so she lifted the curtain on the window and shouted outside: "Why don't you leave?" ”

The driver of the car saw Mi Zhen's domineering appearance, and was extremely unhappy, and hurriedly said to Zhang Yan: "My lord, she ......"

"Don't be like her, let's go." Zhang Yan said.

The coachman glanced at Mi Zhen, jumped into the carriage, raised the whip in his hand high, and with a crisp sound, the whip fell on the horse's back, and the horse neighed, galloped out, and ran away with the carriage.

Mi Zhen screamed, and the whole person flipped backwards, hitting the frame of the carriage directly, and her head ached.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly rode his horse and chased out, and reprimanded the coachman: "How did you drive? Stop me! ”

The coachman grabbed the reins of the horse, and gradually stopped the carriage, Zhang Yan chased after him, reined in the horse, turned over and jumped off the horse, went straight to the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that Mi Zhen was panicked, and her eyes were full of resentment.

"My lord, I ...... I didn't mean to, and I didn't think about ......" The coachman hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Miss Mi, are you alright?" Zhang Yan ignored the coachman, but asked Mi Zhen with concern.

Mi Zhen covered her arm and rubbed it, and said with a resentful expression: "You look at me, do you seem to be okay?" What kind of driver do you hire, you can't even drive a car, what use do you want him? ”

Zhang Yan had a gloomy face, turned his face and said to the coachman who was kneeling on the ground: "Fortunately, Miss Mi is fine, if he makes any mistakes, even if he cuts off your dog's head, it is not an exaggeration." Get lost! ”

"Yes, yes, I'll get out, I'll get out!" The coachman ran away in a daze.

At this time, Chen Deng and the others gathered over, and they were all very concerned about inquiring, and they were relieved to learn that Mi Zhen was safe and sound.

Zuihou, Zhang Yan no longer hired a coachman, so he simply drove the carriage himself and headed towards Tancheng.

After Chen Deng and the others sent Zhang Yan away, the coachman who had slipped away ran back again, stood beside Chen Deng, and asked, "My lord, how did I behave just now?" ”

"You've done a great job, I'll reward you with a drink." Chen Deng patted the coachman's shoulder and said with a smile.

It turned out that this coachman was arranged by Chen Deng early in the morning. He came up with this method in order to create more opportunities for Zhang Yan and Mi Zhen to be alone, which shows that he has good intentions.

Zhang Yan drove the carriage and slowly advanced on the official road, while Mi Zhen in the carriage lay quietly inside, and the two of them didn't even say a word along the way.

By noon, Zhang Yan was hungry and parked the carriage on the side of the road.

"Why did you stop?" Inside the carriage, Mi Zhen's voice came out.

"It's noon, it's time to eat, aren't you hungry?" Zhang Yan said as he tied the reins of the horses to the trees on the side of the road.

When Mi Zhen got up early, the water and rice had not entered, and she was already hungry in her stomach, but she was still embarrassed to say it. Now that Zhang Yan asked, she touched her shriveled stomach, and there was a strange cry of "grunt" from her stomach, how could she not be hungry.

She lifted the roller shutters of the car window and poked her head out to look outside, except for the two of them, there was no one in this radius for several miles, and the whole land was covered with snow, and it was white. In such a place where there is no village in front and no store in the future, what can there be to eat?

Zhang Yan tied the reins of the horses, went around the back of the carriage, and when he appeared in Mi Zhen's sight again, there were a few more flatbreads made of coarse grains in his hands.

He took out a piece of pancake and handed it directly to Mi Zhen, "Here, eat something to pad your stomach first, and when we get to the next town, buy something to eat." ”

Mi Zhen didn't even look at the pancakes, directly put down the roller blind, and said coldly: "You just take this kind of thing for me to eat?" Don't eat! ”

"Oh, I forgot, you are the daughter of a rich family, and you are serving in fine clothes and fine food at home, how can you eat this kind of coarse grain? Don't eat pull down! I'm not the one who is starving, anyway! ”

Zhang Yan took a big gulp of food and ate five pancakes in a row, which was considered to be a full stomach.

He put the rest of the pancake away, then untied the reins of the horse, jumped into the carriage, waved the whip in his hand gently, and with a soft "drive", he was back on the road.

Along the way, Zhang Yan encountered several villages and towns, but there was not even a single figure in the villages and towns, and there were barren land, abandoned villages, and in some places you could see the bodies of refugees frozen to death on the side of the road.

Xuzhou was originally a happy land, but unfortunately Cao Cao's arrival brought great harm to Xuzhou, and the people were displaced and homeless.

The area around Pengcheng was originally a prosperous place, but after this battle, it became dilapidated, and the people who died under Cao's saber alone were more than 100,000.

At the same time, the population plummeted, and Pengcheng became depressed. Along the way, Zhang Yan has not encountered a decent village or town.

After walking for more than an hour, Mi Zhen, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”

Zhang Yan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"If you want to stop, you stop, where is so much nonsense?" Mi Zhen said impatiently.

Zhang Yan smiled wryly, reined in his horse, and gradually stopped on the side of the road.

Before the car was stable, Mi Zhen couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and ran towards a wooded area on the side of the road, looking very anxious.

"Miss Mi, what are you doing so fast?" Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly asked.

Mi Zhen said: "You don't need to care, you just stand there biedong, don't come here!" ”

She ran farther and farther, looking back from time to time, and in a few moments he ran into the woods, and then disappeared without a few turns.

Zhang Yan shook his head with a smile, and said to himself: "Don't think I don't know what you're going to do, isn't it just to make it convenient, as for running so far?" It's not like I haven't seen a woman? Cut! ”

"Ahh

Suddenly, Mi Zhen's screams came from the woods.

Zhang Yan immediately became alert, he turned his head to look into the woods, but saw Mi Zhen running out of the woods in a panic.

He took out his saber from the carriage, pulled out the blade with a "swish", and shouted at Mi Zhen: "What's wrong?" ”

Mi Zhen shouted in panic: "Dead! Dead! There's a dead man in the woods......"

Zhang Yan carried a long sword, pulled his legs and ran towards the woods, bumped into Mi Zhen head-on, and shouted at her: "Hide in the carriage!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Yan's face looked extremely cold, and his eyes shot out of the Dao essence, like a poisonous snake, which made people feel cold.

Mi Zhen passed by Zhang Yan, and when she saw Zhang Yan's murderous face, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

Zhang Yan walked like a fly, and soon ran into the woods, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

Relying on his sense of smell, he galloped in the direction where the smell of blood wafted from, and when he ran less than a hundred meters, he saw a baby thrown under a big tree that had been dead for a long time, and there was a male corpse next to the baby, whose neck had been cut open, and blood flowed all over his chest, and he had been dead for a long time. Behind the tree, there were three corpses, lying face down on the ground, mortally wounded in the back.

In addition, there were still two headless female corpses stripped of their clothes, naked, two ru's rooms were cut by knives, two legs were split in a large shape, and a wooden stick the thickness of a baseball bat was inserted between the legs, which was already blurred in flesh and blood.

After Zhang Yan saw it, he felt a shudder, although he was already used to seeing dead people, but such a cruel murderer really made him disgusted.

He clenched the sword in his hand, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings, and there was no clue except for a messy trail of footprints stretching westward.

"Ahh

At this moment, Mi Zhen suddenly let out a scream from the carriage, and then there was no sound.

Zhang Yan realized the danger, immediately jumped out of the woods, and saw several horse thieves appear near the carriage, one of the horse thieves jumped on the carriage, pulled the reins of the horses, and with a loud shout of "driving", he galloped out, and the rest of the horse thieves accompanied the guards.

As soon as he slipped away, the horse thief hijacked the carriage and Mi Zhen who was sitting in the carriage, and when Zhang Yan ran to the road, the horse thief had already left him, and it was too late to chase him.

"Damn it! actually fell for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Zhang Yan angrily stuck his long sword on the ground.

Zhang Yan, who was annoyed and angry, carefully sorted out the whole thing, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

On this way, because he was driving a carriage and carrying Mi Zhen, his speed was very slow, and he still hadn't stepped out of the boundary of Pengcheng. Counting, this place is not far from Pengcheng, only fifty or sixty miles. If there were horse thieves here, why didn't he know anything about it?

He drew his sword and walked around, and Zuihou found a clue behind a small hill, the footprints on the snow were disorganized, mixed with horseshoe prints, and there was some leftover dry food on the ground, which showed that the horse thieves had been waiting here for a long time.

This shows that someone already knew that he would pass by here, so he set up an ambush on his way, which also shows that in Pengcheng, there are people secretly communicating with horse thieves......

Zhang Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he followed the direction of the horse thief's escape, relying on his own pair of legs, and began to chase, he must find out the ins and outs of this matter, and at the same time, he also wanted to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head!
