Chapter 27: Take a Different Path

At the moment, Liu Wei was going to take Tang Ji and Zhou Cang to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the relevant information was very important to him, which was why he decided not to act for the time being, and listened to the two soldiers finish talking before acting.

Zhou Cang looked at Liu Wei a little anxiously, and wanted to ask if he wanted to do it several times, but he was worried that once he asked out loud, he would be heard by the two soldiers above, and he would cause trouble.

"It's a pity General Huaxiong!" The soldier who spoke first sighed lightly and said to his companion: "It is said that the three fierce generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai under the command of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, fought together, and only fought a draw with General Huaxiong. ”

Eavesdropping on what the soldier said, Liu Wei frowned slightly, he is not a scholar of historiography, and the history he knows is only derived from romance.

In his impression, Hua Xiong should have been beheaded by Guan Yu, but in the mouths of these two soldiers, it turned out to be shot by Sun Jian.

"Could it be that I really changed history after crossing over?" Liu Wei muttered secretly in his heart, and turned his head to look at Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang, who had been waiting impatiently, saw his eyes, where would there be a little delay, and immediately touched the back of the two soldiers.

Liu Wei gently patted Tang Ji's arm, asked her to sit aside, and also touched the position where the two soldiers were sitting.

When he reached a position where he was only three or four paces away from the two soldiers, Liu Wei made a set of gestures at Zhou Cang, asking Zhou Cang to deal with the soldier on the right and he himself to dispose of the soldier on the left.

This set of gestures was not the special combat gestures that Liu Wei used when he carried out tasks in the past, but a set of easy-to-understand gestures that he improvised and understood.

Understanding the meaning of Liu Wei's gesture, Zhou Cang nodded, staring at the young soldier on the right without blinking.

The two soldiers, apparently unaware of the danger, were behind them, and were still sitting there chatting with each other.

Having chosen the best angle to attack, Liu Wei first beckoned to Zhou Cang, and then quickly jumped towards the soldier sitting on the left.

At the same time, Zhou Cang also threw himself at the soldiers on the right side of the city.

The two soldiers sitting on top of the depression heard the sound of the bushes behind them, and quickly turned their heads to see what was behind them, and at the moment they turned their heads, they each wrapped their arms around their necks and dragged them into the depression.

The soldier who was dragged to the depression by Liu Wei's neck struggled and was about to scream, a pair of cold hands pressed on both sides of his cheeks, and then the hands twisted hard, the soldier only felt a sudden pain in his neck, and then his eyes were dark and he was unconscious.

Solving the soldiers who were dragged down the depression by him, Liu Wei turned his head and glanced at Zhou Cang on the side. Zhou Cang was also done at this time, and nodded at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei knew that he couldn't stay here, so he turned around and went back to the depression, pulled up Tang Ji who was hiding in the bushes, and rushed towards the back of the jungle with Zhou Cang.

The distance between the trees was very narrow, and the servants walked quickly through the trees, and they had to pay attention to the eyeliner laid by the officers and soldiers along the way.

After running north for two or three hundred steps, Liu Wei suddenly pulled Tang Ji to squat down and waved his hand towards Zhou Cang on the side.

Seeing Liu Wei waving his hand, Zhou Cang also hurriedly squatted down, turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The woods were very quiet, Zhou Cang didn't notice anything wrong, and he didn't see any signs of someone hiding, but Liu Wei stopped moving forward at this time, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed to a tree not far away. Following the direction of Liu Wei's finger, Zhou Cang looked at the tree.

It was a tree that was not particularly different from the surrounding trees, except that a small piece of bark had fallen off from its trunk, leaving a snow-white body exposed.

Glancing at the tree, Zhou Cang turned his head to look at Liu Wei again, and the expression on his face became more and more confused.

"Marks from the shield." Liu Wei lowered his voice and said in an almost inaudible voice: "It's too quiet here, there aren't even a single bird, there must be a secret whistle nearby, we have to find them out and kill them before we can leave smoothly." ”

"Mr. don't wait, go and deal with it." Zhou Cang replied in a low voice, and the cat was about to drill into the forest in front of him.

"Yuan Fu is slow!" As soon as Zhou Cang left, Liu Wei hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "You are here to protect Tang Ji, I'll go." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Cang to respond, Liu Wei let go of the hand holding Tang Ji, lowered his body and touched it forward.

Tang Ji squatted in the bushes, looking at Liu Wei who was gradually moving away, and the expression in his eyes was not worry, but an indescribable reverence.

Quietly touching the edge of the big tree, Liu Wei stopped and looked up at the place on the trunk where the bark had been rubbed off.

The bark that had been wiped off was not very large, and there were still some traces of shields rubbing the bark on the edge of the exposed snow-white trunk.

After examining the marks on the bark, Liu Wei felt to the northeast side with his waist.

"Who!" He had only walked twenty or thirty paces forward when the soft sound of his body rubbing against the bushes alerted the two soldiers hiding nearby, one of whom stood up with a spear in both hands and asked alertly.

The other soldier, seeing his companion standing up, followed suit, spear in both hands, and craned his neck to look around.

Liu Wei hurriedly stopped, lurking behind the bushes, listening to the movements of the two soldiers.

After a while, there was the sound of people rubbing against bushes and blades of grass as they walked, and the sound was a little messy, and it sounded like two people were moving towards him at the same time.

Pulling out the firewood knife on his waist, Liu Wei waited quietly in the bushes.

There were only two people on the other side, and he was confident that as long as he acted quickly, it was entirely possible to deal with these two people before they could send a signal to the other officers and soldiers.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and just as Liu Wei was calculating the distance between the two sides and was ready to jump out of the bush to kill the other party, a hare ran out of the bushes and quickly burrowed into another bush.

Seeing the hare emerging from the bushes, one of the soldiers spat and muttered, "I thought I was a man, but I was a rabbit." ”

The two soldiers walked towards their hiding place with spears and curses, Liu Wei took a deep breath, and the hand holding the firewood knife clenched a little tighter.

"What's the noise?" He was about to move forward to finish off the two soldiers when a man's shout was heard in the distance.

Hearing this shout, Liu Wei, who had just stood up, retreated back and hibernated in the bushes again.

"It's fine, it's just a rabbit!" A nearby soldier stood up and replied to the questioner in the distance.

Although the conversation between the two did not mention the location where the officers and soldiers were hiding, Liu Wei expected that the officers and soldiers nearby must be looking at each other at each other, and if one place was solved, the other would definitely be discovered.

It is not too difficult to rashly attack the two soldiers hiding in front and kill them, but it is not easy to be discovered by other officers and soldiers.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two soldiers in front of him thought that there were rabbits nearby, Liu Wei slowly retreated.

"The people here are looking at each other with their horns, and they can't move." Retreating to Zhou Cang and Tang Ji's side, Liu Wei pointed forward and said to the two: "We are coming out from the northwest, and there are not many of them, so it is impossible to take care of all the corners nearby. ”

"At your fingertips." Liu Wei roughly analyzed the current situation, and Zhou Cang clenched his fists with both hands and responded.

After choosing the route to leave, Liu Wei pulled Tang Ji and quickly rushed towards the northwest with Zhou Cang.

There are dense bushes and weeds everywhere, and there is barely a road visible between the trees. Zhou Cang is worthy of being a mountain king, and he has his specific way to walk the mountain road. He didn't use a stick to find his way, but just observed the growth of nearby bushes, and knew where the ground was on the ground and where the ground was empty.

Zhou Cang, who was good at walking mountain roads, explored the road in front, and Liu Wei and Tang Ji followed closely behind, and the speed of movement was naturally not slow.

The body of the servant rubbed against the bushes, and the bushes made a "rustling" sound, but fortunately, there were many wild beasts in the forest, and the place where the noise was made was not their place, so it did not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers left behind.

After walking for four or five miles, Liu Wei pulled Tang Ji to catch up with Zhou Cang, patted his arm gently, and signaled him to stop.

Zhou Cang stopped, looked back at Liu Wei and asked in a low voice, "Why did Mr. stop?" ”

"We have gotten rid of the encirclement of officers and soldiers." Liu Wei first looked around, then pulled Tang Ji to stand up, and said to Zhou Cang: "If you go all the way to the northwest, the road must be far away, from here to the north, get out of the Bishan Mountain as soon as possible, cross the Yellow River, and you should be able to break away from Dong Zhuo's territory." ”

"What the gentleman said is true!" Zhou Cang nodded, and said to Liu Wei: "After the mountains and forests here, it is not far north to the Yellow River, but there is no ferry nearby, even if you get to the river, you still have to walk dozens of miles east to cross the river." ”

"Yuanfu is familiar with mountain roads, please lead the way." Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Cang, asking him to continue to lead the way in front.

Zhou Cang replied and walked in front, while Liu Wei pulled Tang Ji to follow closely behind him, and quickly marched due north.

The setting sun was slanting, the remnant sun was cast on the canopy of the trees, and the ground in the forest was reflected with a little orange light, and another dusk came.

"Yuanfu waits." After running for more than ten miles in the mountains and forests in one breath, Tang Ji's physical strength was exhausted, and his steps were a little staggering when walking, Liu Wei stopped and said to Zhou Cang, who was walking in front: "I'll rest here tonight." ”

"Here?" Zhou Cang stopped, looked around at the surrounding forests, and asked Liu Wei: "This place is overgrown with trees, and there are fierce beasts at night, are you sure that Mr. wants to rest here?" ”

"It's a good place to stay." Liu Wei muttered in front of him, and said to Zhou Cang: "There are no traces of fierce beasts on the trees here, I think there are no lynx and leopards, even if there are fierce beasts, they are just tigers and jackals." As long as I wait for the trees to hide, they will be gone. ”
