The people in the carriage looked at the stunned crowd and grinned, and then shouted outside: "It turns out that you are here for the prince, but it happens that the prince is not here, I am afraid that you will be busy in vain." ”
Gongsun Yang was the first to come back to his senses, twitching the corners of his mouth and said, "Gongsun Xian, why are you here?"
Gongsun Xian smiled: "Uncle, why can't I come?"
Gongsun Xian thought of something, and immediately rushed to Li Yu's carriage to look inside, there was no empty half of the people in the carriage, he even leaned down and looked at the bottom of the carriage, but there was still no one.
Gongsun Yang couldn't help but be a little confused: "What about the prince?"
Gongsun Xian blinked: "Of course it's already gone, is it possible to wait for someone to be besieged and killed here?"
Cheng Yan glanced at Gongsun Xian, and suddenly remembered what he had just felt was wrong.
Li Yu hadn't shown up since he was rescued when he was living in Horse Valley, but because he heard Li Yu's voice, Cheng Yan didn't think much about it. Looking back now, the words Li Yu said were all weak, which was completely inconsistent with the usual style of this prince.
Could it be that at that time, Gongsun Xian sat in the carriage instead of Li Yu? In this way, it didn't take long for Gao Feng to disappear and he could find the reason, presumably he had secretly followed the prince away.
Cheng Yan thought so much in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Gongsun Yang said with a big grin: "If the prince is not here, let's kill it!" My people will arrive soon and destroy this group of kings and eight lambs." ”
Gongsun Xian looked at his uncle and sighed: "Uncle." I'm afraid your people won't come. ”
Gongsun Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that although he took the twenty or so people first, the people who walked behind should have rushed here at this time, and there was only one possibility before he saw the figure, that is, something happened!
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yang thought of the burning hay again, and immediately understood that he was afraid that he had fallen for the trick, and there was a mole among his people!
Gongsun Yang couldn't help but be angry, he gritted his teeth and walked around among the people he brought, not knowing who to suspect for a while, and feeling that everyone seemed to be suspicious.
Gongsun Xian looked at the people outside: "There must be some of you among us." Whether the prince is really not here or not, we can't fool people. If you turn around now and chase after you. Maybe you can really catch up with the weak son. When the time comes, we won't be able to stop us from killing or chopping. ”
Before Gongsun Xian's words fell, Gongsun Yang's eyes glared: "What kind of!"
Gongsun Xian didn't hear Gongsun Yang's accusation, and continued to say with an unchanged face: "If you want to continue to waste time and kill us...... Hehe! We're not soft persimmons, it's a big deal to fight to the death! But you'd better be sure that you'll be able to wipe out all of us before my reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, it's better that you are really some bandits. If it's an acquaintance, you'll always show a little bit of a wedge when you fight. I'm afraid the people behind you won't be able to end it when the time comes!"
The people outside didn't speak, as if they were secretly checking whether Li Yu was really not here.
If Li Yu is still there, even if they take a big risk, they will be killed, after all, as long as Li Yu is dead. There is no one in the Jin Palace, and the old subordinates of the King of Jin will no longer be able to make any waves. But if Li Yu, the protagonist, has fled, and they finally reveal their true identity here, then Li Yu will be given an excuse to incite the old department of King Jin.
The people outside finally got the news that Li Yu was really no longer here, and they didn't hesitate for long, the leader issued a long whistle, and the people who had surrounded them began to evacuate without saying a word of nonsense, they wanted to find Li Yu's whereabouts, because killing Li Yu was the only purpose of their trip.
After a long time, all the people outside were evacuated.
Gongsun Yang has been listening carefully to the movement outside, and the more he listens, the more cold sweat on his body becomes, and his face becomes more and more unsightly. Although he thought about fighting to the death, listening to the movement outside, the men and horses surrounding them were at least ten times as large as them. Even if all the people he brought rushed over, I am afraid that he would not be able to protect Li Yu.
When there was no movement outside, Gongsun Xian breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get out of here! What if they change their minds and want to come and kill a horse pistol!
At this time, the fire in the col has not stopped, most of the carriage brought by Li Yu has been burned, and there are many casualties, but most of them are people from the forbidden army, Gongsun Yang brought some good hands this time, so there were no casualties, and it is surprising that Li Yu's dozen coachmen are all good.
After a general glance at the situation present, Cheng Yan began to integrate his men and horses to evacuate.
When everyone came out of the col, they were speechless for a while when they looked at the horseshoe prints that were still densely packed on the snow.
Gongsun Xian shook his head and sighed: "It seems that it is really a dead hand! I hope that the prince can get out of danger safely." ”
Gongsun Yang just wanted to ask where the prince went, but when he thought that there were still moles in his team, he swallowed these words when they came to his mouth, and finally only spit out one sentence: "Where are we going now?"
Gongsun Xian silently looked at the heavy snow, then looked at Gongsun Yang, and said half-truthfully: "We can't help if the prince can get out of danger safely, so let him resign himself to fate." I'm going to find out if the people you brought are all dead, and we'll have to collect a corpse. ”
Gongsun Yang also remembered the people and horses he brought out, and his face became more and more unpleasant. But he knew that now was not the time to settle accounts, and that everything would have to wait until he got back.
Cheng Yan thought for a while and said to them: "My duty is to protect the son, and now that the whereabouts of the son are unknown, I will take someone back to find it." ”
Gongsun Xian's attitude towards Cheng Yan was good, and he arched his hand and said, "Then don't pass it here, Lord Cheng take care." ”
Cheng Yan nodded: "Take care." ”
Gongsun Xian and Gongsun Yang left with their own people, while Cheng Yan took his own men and horses back to find Li Yu.
At this time, Li Yu had just walked out of the bottom of the valley.
Generally, when passing through the Sumima Valley, you will choose a winding mountain road that is easy to walk, because in addition to the rocks and weeds in the valley, there are many swamps and deep pools, and people who are not familiar with this place will accidentally lose their lives. Fortunately, it is winter, and the ground has been frozen, but the road is still not easy to walk.
When Li Yu came out of the valley bottom, his face was calm and calm, although his sleeves had been cut through several gaps by the dead vines and sharp stones that grew at the bottom of the valley.
Gao Feng jumped out behind Li Yu with a sword, he looked much more embarrassed, there was a pool of blood on his clothes, not to mention that there were a few more wounds on his face, and the messy hair was even more unbearable to look at.
"You can actually meet a blind bear at the bottom of the valley in the middle of winter! you won't seek revenge for the bear you ate the bear's paw, right?" Gao Feng casually thrust his sword into his waist, and pulled a piece of cloth from his sleeve to make a mess of himself, and his hair, which was somewhat obscured by the north wind, couldn't help but complain.
Li Yutou didn't reply, but joked in a good mood: "No wonder that bear went straight at you." ”
Gao Feng couldn't help choking, remembering that the bear's paw seemed to have really entered his stomach, so he could only change the topic: "It's not close to Eagle Valley from here, and it's just the two of us, in case you meet the pursuers, there will be only a dead end." ”
Li Yu thought for a moment and stopped at Taniguchi, looked around, and then put his finger to his lips and blew a whistle. Gao Feng was about to ask him what he was doing when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, but in the blink of an eye, two horses appeared in their field of vision and ran in their direction.
Gao Feng couldn't help but be stunned until the two horses ran in front of them and stopped.
Li Yu stepped forward and touched the horse's head, then examined the horse, and finally found a burden from the blanket hanging from the horse's body.
Li Yu paused, then opened the baggage, and found that there were dry food, wound medicine, a short knife, and two kettles in addition to it.
Gao Feng looked at Li Yu with a shocked expression: "This is what you prepared? You had long expected that we were going to leave from here?"
Li Yu didn't answer, but went to check another horse, and also found a burden, and in addition to the few things just now, there was an extra letter.
Li Yu opened the letter, and after seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, he bent the corners of his mouth. Because he was in a good mood, he replied to Gao Feng condescendingly: "What do you say?"
After Li Yu read the letter in his hand, he did not hand it to Gao Feng, but folded it and received it in the placket. Gao Feng looked at Li Yu with blank eyes, waiting for him to say something more.
Li Yu opened a kettle and sniffed it and put it down, then opened the other one, the strong aroma of the liquor instantly emanated, he took a sip lightly, and threw a burden to Gao Feng.
Gao Feng sniffed and took out his own pot of wine and poured it hard, and then found that his stiff internal organs and limbs were instantly warm, Gao Feng sighed comfortably, and poured it down hard, and then suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that the person who wrote to you prepared it? But how did she know that we would definitely go from the bottom? In case we went the other way, didn't she make this preparation in vain?"
Li Yu rubbed the wine jug in his hand, the night sky was gray and starless, but Gao Feng was dazzled for a moment and felt that he seemed to see a bright star in Li Yu's eyes just now.
"Other exits should also be prepared. Li Yu said in a low voice.
Gao Feng blinked: "What? So godly? This is the so-called last resort?"
There is no real thing in this world that is as good as God's calculations, and some are just meticulous and comprehensive.
Li Yu didn't say anything more, turned over and got on the horse.
Gao Feng didn't wait for Li Yu to speak, and got on the horse neatly.
Li Yu grabbed the reins of the horse and glanced at him: "Don't you treat the wound?" (To be continued.) )
