Chapter 10: Hiding from Assassination
I said, "It should be around the clock tonight." I don't know the specific strength of the other party, but I know it will be dangerous."
"Wait, old man take a look. Saying that, Zhang Zhiyi took out a map and looked at it carefully, the map in his hand was much more detailed than the one given to me, this should be the difference between military and civilian.
After a while, Zhang Zhiyi looked up at me and said, "Okay, Yuzhen, the old man believes in you." Then, he shouted to Li Yu: "General Li, change your route and go west." ”
Li Yu reluctantly asked: "Lord Zhang, why? Walk east along this road in a few days to reach our Dayu country, and now it will take more than ten days to walk west." ”
Zhang Zhiyi suddenly said angrily: "Old man, if you say to the west, you will go west, the prince said before going out that this trip is all up to the old man, do you dare to disobey?!"
"Lord Zhang, my subordinates don't dare, the whole team obeys the order to go west. Li Yu led the team to ride west.
Back in the car, the princess asked, "Uncle Zhang, what happened?" What did that earth Taoist priest tell you?" Zhang Zhiyi replied: "It's nothing, just ask the princess to believe in the old man." ”
Zhang Zhiyi does not blindly believe in You Yuzhen, how can an old man who has been in the ups and downs of officialdom in the Dayu Dynasty easily listen to the words of a child who has not yet arrived in his twenties.
What's more, he is a leader in the old rivers and lakes who has won important positions in literature and martial arts. Otherwise, how could he become the prince's henchman and be ordered to take care of the only daughter of the king side by side?
First of all, young people generally look up to power, and even if they don't, they don't think that anyone would dare to be a blatant enemy of such a huge power. (It's easy to figure out this, imagine if you suddenly meet a rich man who has been in the limelight, the first thing you think of must be to get help from this person, and your life will be smooth sailing from then on, and you will not even think about whether his bad luck will affect you because of knowing him, because in your eyes he cannot have bad luck.) )
Secondly, even if the charlatans who wander the rivers and lakes like to deceive people by deception to obtain benefits, the opportunity will not be so coincidental at that time. Finally, based on the speed of travel, the woods stationed in the evening were indeed a good spot for an ambush.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiyi chose to believe in You Yuzhen and changed her route to the west.
Because Zhang Zhiyi suddenly chose to change the road for no reason, the atmosphere of the entire team has been a little depressed in the past few days, and only Wukong is still so heartless to play around.
Everyone knows that I have a spirit monkey, and I have Zhang Zhiyi as a guarantee, so I am now playing around with Wukong. After walking through this deserted section, I was ready to let Goku hide in my arms all the time so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
After walking safely for a few days, I woke up early in the morning, and the sense of danger came again, I opened the map and counted it, and I immediately went to find Zhang Zhiyi.
I pointed to the map and asked, "Mr. Zhang, according to our speed in the past two days, I estimate that we will reach this valley in the evening, right?"
Zhang Zhiyi looked at the map and said, "Yes, Yuzhen, you are right, did you calculate that there will be danger again?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, it should be." Mr. Zhang, can we speed up a little bit and try to cross that valley before evening?"
Zhang Zhiyi said: "Well, this is okay, you mean that if you go too slowly, the other party will set up an ambush in this long and narrow valley before us, right?"
I said, "Yes, according to my calculations. To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhang, you also know that the mountains where I lived before are full of dangers, and I relied on my skill of divination to get out. ”
"You don't need to say more, Yuzhen, the old man believes in you. After speaking, Zhang Zhiyi shouted to the others: "Hurry up, let's speed up today, and we must cross the Flying Eagle Stream in the afternoon." ”
Li Yu said: "Lord Zhang, don't listen to that stinky Taoist priest's nonsense, since the great Tongtian Warlock lived in seclusion a few decades ago, this world is full of swaggering liars, and there are very few warlocks with real skills, how can he have such great ability." ”
Zhang Zhiyi said solemnly: "This is the old man's decision, General Li, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can wait until you return to the palace and tell the prince, and now do what the old man says!" Zhang Zhiyi thought to himself, how can he be sure that the Taoist priest in front of him will not be that disciple, thinking about it, this little Taoist priest is very similar to the disciple of the warlock with the ability to reach the sky in many aspects.
Under Zhang Zhiyi's urging all the way, we finally crossed the Flying Eagle Stream safely in the afternoon. The moment I came out of the valley, I felt an inexplicable slight fluctuation.
This is the same feeling I had when I was contemplating the Heavenly Voyeur Technique, as a speck of dust moving up and down the avenue, and the fluctuations generated affected the fluctuations of other things around me. It seems that because I am influenced by my behavior, it changes the trajectory of things around me. It turns out that people change each other's mood, way of thinking, and even destiny through intentional or unintentional behaviors in daily life.
Suddenly, I had a deeper understanding of the avenue, and it turned out that this is the interaction between people. At this moment, my Sky Voyeurism went straight to the second floor.
Alas... Master, you also told me that I can use this Heavenly Voyeur Technique if I want to, and I can cultivate it if I want to, and I can't avoid it at all, okay? I now know why I have studied it for so many years, and I dare to love that as long as I learn this Heavenly Voyeur Technique, I will definitely be struck by lightning one day. It's a passive skill!
As the sun set, there were seven black-clothed men standing in the Flying Eagle Stream, looking at the traces left on the ground and saying, "What's the matter? Normally, they wouldn't have arrived here earlier than us, why did they look at the traces on the ground that they had already passed through here in advance." ”
A man in black said, "Big brother, this is a bit strange, why did they choose to change their route to the west? Why did they suddenly speed up their journey? It is so strange that they can avoid our ambush twice in a row." ”
The man in black at the head said: "Don't care if he's weird or not, they are still a few days away from entering the Dayu Kingdom, we must catch up with them and kill Ji Wanjiao before that!"
At noon two days later, everyone was very tired because they were in a hurry for the past two days, so Zhang Zhiyi took advantage of noon to let everyone rest more. And because I have reached the second level of Sky Voyeurism, I have a more sensitive sense of danger.
Alas... What perseverance! These people are chasing after them again. I got up and walked over to Zhang Zhiyi.
I said, "Mr. Zhang, I can't hide this time, people are catching up from behind, and the number of people is probably less than ten." If we keep running now, they should be able to catch up at night. ”
Zhang Zhiyi frowned after hearing my words, "Yuzhen, is there no other way?" In fact, the old man also served as a military attache when he was young, and several assassins and old men didn't pay attention to it, but they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt the princess." ”
I said, "Mr. Zhang, I can't help it, I really can't avoid it." I think the only thing we can do now is to find a place that is beneficial to us. ”
"Alas... It's only like this, why don't you take the princess for the old man to go first? The old man also knows that this request is a bit excessive, but the old man can't help it, the old man begs you. Zhang Zhiyi said that he was going to salute me.
