Chapter 202: Sycophants

The horses were driven and galloped like crazy, and although they were out of the city, the tight strings in everyone's hearts had not yet been loosened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, I heard the clatter of horses' hooves behind me, I opened the curtain and looked back, it turned out that Adjutant Xu just now was catching up with a small group of soldiers, and shouted while whipping the horse, "The carriage in front ...... Wait......"

I was shocked, and secretly thought, in the end, he still saw through it. Also, although there is a housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion in his hands, the group of people going out of the city so mysteriously and mysteriously really can't stand scrutiny. If you think about it a little, you can know that there must be something strange in it.

"They caught up. After putting the curtain down, my brows furrowed into a big pimple, and I turned my head to look at Yan Wei.

He was as calm as ever, reaching out and rubbing my eyebrows to comfort me, "Don't worry. My fingers are cold, but it really makes me feel a lot more comfortable.

The man in blue who was attached to the back urged the horse to the window, and asked from the outside, "Childe, what should I do?" My subordinates see that there are only a dozen people who have come, otherwise they will be slaughtered?"

This man dared to say this, thinking that he was either too reckless or too bold. It's only been a mile out of the city, and it's really not a smart decision to do it now. Once dragged by these dozen people, the city's rush to help will arrive in an instant, and it will really be impossible to escape at that time.

"Are there a large number of people following behind these dozen people?" Yan Wei asked him, as if he had other thoughts in his heart.

The man looked back again, and made sure that only Adjutant Xu came with a small team of people, and then replied, "No, just the one surnamed Xu just now came with a dozen people." ”

Hearing him say this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yan Wei's mouth, and he said, "Go and tell the front to stop, and tell Wang Meng to deal with it carefully." ”

The man frowned, urged the horse and went to the front to pass the word. But he couldn't figure out what Yan Wei thought and made such a risky decision.

After the man urged the horse to leave, I asked Yan Wei, "Do you think that we haven't been exposed yet?"

Yan Wei replied, "If he already knew, the soldiers and horses in the city should have already been dispatched, and they would never bring only a dozen people out." ”

I didn't dare to make such bold assumptions as he did, and then I asked, "If he doesn't know, then why would he bring someone to chase us out? What if this is a ploy by him to hold us back?

"It's too close to the city gates to be taken lightly. The official roads extend in all directions, and it is difficult to get rid of them. Now, he may not see through us. If we ignore him and run away, we will let him notice. ”

Hit, can't fight. Run, can't run. As soon as Yan Wei exited, he analyzed several roads thoroughly.

Swinging forward, the carriage had stopped. Yan Wei instructed me again, "Later, if he wants someone to escort you, don't refuse, just let someone follow." ”

I smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, he's here to pat himself on the back." ”

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by a few long neighing of horses, and when they got closer, Yan Wei shook my hand and signaled me to silence. The adjutant turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to the window. Liu Shun, who was in the carriage in front, stretched out half of his body from the window, and Nu asked, "Adjutant Xu, what's the matter with you?

Adjutant Xu arched his hand to Liu Shun, and replied with a smile, "Steward Liu misunderstood." He ignored him and asked me outside the window, "Madame went out of the city in such a hurry early in the morning, I don't know where she is going?"

I fixed my mind, and asked him with majesty and anger in my tone, "I don't know in what capacity Adjutant Xu asked Mrs. Ben? Could it be that Mrs. Ben has to file with Adjutant Xu where she is going?"

Adjutant Xu was embarrassed by choking, and hurriedly explained, "How dare the last general ask Madame's words." The last general can't speak, the words don't reach the meaning, and I ask the lady to forgive the sin. It's just that the last general saw that his wife was going out of the city, but there were not many people with him, so he specially sent a few people to escort his wife. ”

I'm really here to pat myself on the back. He said that he wanted to give, but I couldn't respond immediately, so he replied majestically, "Some small things, just go back, and I'm afraid it will be more eye-catching if there are more people with me." ”

Adjutant Xu still said humbly, "This time is different from the past, there are traitors in Mengzhou City, I am afraid that the road is not stable, it is better to be careful in everything." Madame passed in front of the eyes of the last general today, and the last general was responsible for the safety of his wife. If there is a slight slip-up, the general can't afford it. ”

The traitor he spoke of must be the man of the first village. I pretended to think for a moment, and only after a moment did I answer, "You have a point. Okay, let people follow. ”

Adjutant Xu responded with joy, arranged the dozen or so horsemen he had brought over, and returned to the city gate.

I didn't feel relaxed here, more than the dozen or so people at the back of the team have little tails, which is equivalent to more than a dozen pairs of surveillance eyes, and the most important thing now is how to deal with them.

Yan Wei seemed to know what I was thinking, and before he could ask him, he whispered to me, "It's not enough to do it now, it's better to stay away." Don't be in a hurry, and look at the scenery on the side of the road first. ”

Since he said so, he naturally had an idea. But apart from the pedestrians on this road, I don't know what the scenery is beautiful. As soon as the sun came out, the last trace of coolness in the morning receded, and there was a hot and dry steam in the air that was drowsy.

In a trance, I heard someone outside asking, "Madam, there is a tea house in front, do you want to rest for a while before leaving?"

I woke up immediately, reached out and lifted the curtain to look forward and backward. Behind, the walls of Mengzhou City are far away, looking like a line. At the fork in the road ahead, a grass shed is getting closer and closer, and the big red letters on the cloth banner say "Tea House", which is particularly conspicuous. People come and go, and business is good.

Eating and drinking things are indeed easy to manipulate, and I looked at Yan Wei nervously. A smile appeared in the corner of his eyebrow, and he whispered, "Eat something and then go!"

His calm appearance is really hard to guess, but I can only respond to the words outside, and let the group eat in the tea house before leaving. During this time, I was still anxiously waiting for some unexpected situation to occur, but it did not happen. What's even more surprising is that the two men who followed Yan Wei talked happily with the dozen or so horsemen sent by Adjutant Xu.

After eating tofu brains and steamed buns, the group went northwest along the road. In order not to show the stuffing, Yan Wei and I can't talk much. What's more, after he has taken the pill, he should close his eyes and recuperate, so I can't disturb him, and only fan him next to him to cool off.

In this way, the more you walk, the more desolate it becomes, and the sides of the road are gradually covered by dense forests. The trees that shade the sky and the lack of pedestrians on the road make me feel hairy. At this time, Yan Wei had rested enough, and suppressed a low cough. I asked him, where are you going?

Yan Wei replied, "Aren't you going to Phoenix Mountain? ”

I was almost speechless in surprise, and finally asked, "How did Wu Yuan agree with you to do this?"

I told him I wanted to do something he loved with this last bit of time, and he agreed. ”

Yan Wei said it easily, but there was still nostalgia and helplessness in his eyes, which made people feel distressed. For a while, I seemed to be aroused with pride and ambition in my chest, and I secretly decided that I must find the descendant of the medical saint and save him.

"Madam, it's hot, don't you let the little ones rest before leaving. The man asked again outside.

It was indeed too hot on this day, especially after entering the woods, and I was even more breathless, so I complied with his request. The carriage was parked against the woods, and the horses were tethered to the trees at the edge of the forest to graze. The two men and the soldiers sat on the ground to rest, wiped their sweat and drank water with water bladders.

The man in green clothes was different from others, but he was holding a wine bag in his hand, and as soon as the stopper was pulled out, the aroma of wine immediately wafted out, and everyone's eyes turned red. He was not stingy at all, and let everyone drink together. Because the previous place was good, no one refused, and after a while, they took a round and everyone drank a few sips.

While the man was still boasting about how good his wine was, the soldier who had drunk it already had the feeling of being on top of the spirits, and fell to the ground in a daze.
