Li Jin couldn't react at first, and then he couldn't jump the horse even if he wanted to.

After Li Hui galloped on his horse, I don't know if it was a long or short period of time, Li Jin finally saw that the direction they were moving had already deviated from the official road.

The originally boundless dense forest behind him was now only like a thick black line, retreating farther and farther.

At the same time, Li Jin saw Su Jing and Chen An chasing behind him, the silhouettes of the two and three horses.

She grabbed an arm around her waist with all her strength, and shouted in a low voice: "General Li, have you made enough trouble, let me down!"

The coldness in Li Jin's tone made Li Hui's mind that had just calmed down immediately tighten, and the reins in his hand also pulled violently.

"Oh no! Get down!"

Because the previous momentum was too fierce, Li Huile stopped too quickly, and the horse carrying the two people was directly startled, and the person stood up.

When Li Hui's warning reached Li Jin's ears, she had been directly encircled by Li Hui and crouched on horseback.

The whistling wind, the horsehair brushing his cheeks, the hair blocking in front of him, whether it was her or his, and the full moon in the messy line of sight, as if within reach, made Li Jin have the illusion that he was dreaming.

"Miss!"

"General!"

At the same time, two low exclamations also came into Li Jin's ears, but she didn't say that she was scared at the moment, the thoughts that crossed her mind, but they didn't know if the distance they ran out of now was enough, would those trackers in the dense forest hear something?

Fortunately, Li Hui's riding skills are indeed not bad.

In a moment, he stopped the startled horse's restlessness, and with only two or three movements, the horse was quiet.

Su Jing had already rushed to the front at this time, "Li Hui, are you crazy?!" Miss has three long and two short, I ...... it."

Li Hui turned his head, glanced at Su Jing with a ruffian, took his words and said, "You, will you kill me?"

Su Jing knew in his heart that he didn't have Li Hui's kung fu, and second, he didn't have so many of Li Hui's subordinates. If Li Jin really has a good idea, he said that he wanted to make Li Hui pay the price, but he was afraid that everyone who heard it would laugh and lose their big teeth.

But he met Li Hui's gaze and glared back without showing weakness, "If something happens to Miss, I will definitely kill you, don't you believe it?"

Li Hui raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "How can you not believe it? You have always been outwitted in doing things, how can I underestimate you to fight hard with me with reckless means?"

Chen An on the side, because he felt the tension between the two, his hand had subconsciously grasped the dagger on his waist that had just returned.

"That's enough, you two. ”

Li Jin pushed away Li Hui's hand that was holding her belt, and slid off the horse, looked up and said to Su Jing, "Give me the reins." ”

After taking the other horse prepared for her from Su Jing's hand, Li Jin turned over neatly, and then turned his head to look at Li Hui and said, "It's not too far from the forest here, let's get out of here first." ”

The words were closed, and she didn't wait for Li Hui to respond, and directly rode her horse and trotted up.

Su Jing glanced at Li Hui and immediately drove his horse to follow Li Jin.

Li Hui touched his nose and beckoned to Chen An: "Let's go, let's hurry up." ”

As he spoke, he also turned his horse's head and trotted to chase someone who was obviously in a bad mood at the moment.

Chen An tilted his head and stared at Li Hui's back for a long time, then shrugged his shoulders and sighed, and quickly followed.

Under the bright moonlit night, Li Jin and his entourage passed quickly through the manor on the outskirts of Beijing.

Although it is much more populated than the official roads and places with villages and towns, there are also people who farm and take care of the crops after dawn.

Therefore, if they want to leave the capital in a hidden sight, they must seize the time now and quickly leave the boundary of the capital.

After Li Hui caught up with Li Jin and walked side by side with her, he took over all the responsibilities of leading the way, and led Li Jin and others to gallop on horses according to the shortcut they took when they came to Beijing.

Therefore, when the sky was just showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, Li Jin had already seen the border of the suburbs of Beijing - the ancient canal.

At this time, although it is a cold winter, but through the north and south, by the natural momentum, the ancient canal is still not frozen.

The unclear sky is enveloped in the misty water, adding a bit of gloom to the winter morning.

After Li Jin and his entourage arrived at the ancient canal, they slowed down and slowly drove their horses upriver along the riverbank.

Needless to say, Li Jin also knows that if he moves slowly like this, he doesn't have to worry about being seen and exposed.

First, the canal is mostly a natural channel to the north, not only has many branches and is narrow and difficult to travel, but also there are no large docks, so there are no ships in the north in winter.

Second, this is a custom that Li Jin only learned about recently, and accidentally discovered among the people in the north from various miscellaneous books about the north that her mother collected for her.

Because this canal has been going north, if it can be traced back to the source, it was left from Lingyun Mountain, and the legendary god of war who rose in the north is also rumored to have been born on Lingyun Mountain, and left a precept - respecting the river in winter.

In order to show respect and respect for this god of war, after the winter in the north, after the ceremony of sacrificing to the river, no one will easily approach this ancient canal.

Li Jin drove his horse forward, looking down at the slowly flowing river around him, and couldn't help but be distracted.

She remembered that when she saw the record in the book, she only thought that it was another piece of evidence that proved that the god of war was just a mythical figure made up by word of mouth.

Not to mention that the ritual of sacrificing the river is a custom and festival that has been passed down from generation to generation, but the admonition not to approach the winter canal is not a means for the old man to warn children to stay away from danger through legends and myths?

She knew very well that although the surface of the river in winter looked frozen and solid, it was fragile and could collapse in an instant if she was not careful.

And the reason why she knows and remembers it is naturally that she was naughty when she was a child, and went to the small river ditch behind Zhuangzi to play ice skating, but she stepped on the profound lesson of the ice.

At that time, the river behind Zhuangzi was fortunately not deep, but even such a shallow river could not freeze, let alone such a deep river as the ancient canal?

Besides, even if she knew that the winter in the north was much colder than in the capital, the thickness of the ice on the rivers and lakes must be much thicker.

But nature is infinitely created, and there may be a lot of thick ice, and it is not impossible for a child to go up and play and jump up and break it.

Therefore, Li Jin looked at the river flowing slowly eastward, and couldn't help but think deeply.

Even if there is really a god of war, it may just be someone who was more powerful in warfare in ancient times, and his prestige was spread by others, and then others used this prestige to act for their own convenience.

After such a repeated spread, repeated use, and re-spread, it has become a legendary god of war who is famous today, but there are not many records that can be found in historical facts.

Li Jin was thinking about his origin, when a sudden sound in his ear, and a hot inquiry entered his ears.

"Why are you so focused? If you don't sit up straight, be careful of falling into the river. ”
