Chapter 680: Danger
At this moment, Dapeng was overdrawn due to physical exhaustion, and it couldn't stand on it, and fell to the ground.
"Dapeng, Dapeng, you can't die, don't die, Li Zhuo will try his best to save you. ”
Li Zhuo cried, she stroked Dapeng's head with her hand, and said firmly.
I don't know if Dapeng understood Lizhuo's words, or if it knew that it was going to die soon, tears rolled out of its eyes.
"Da Ao, you are guarding Dapeng here, I will come when I go. ”
Li Zhuo said, took out a silver ticket from Da Ao's body, she tore a piece of clothing, wrapped her 'leg' wound tightly, and wiped away her tears. Turned out of the grove.
This is an almost abandoned official road.
Due to the construction of a new, more spacious official road not far from this official road, this dirt road is hardly crowded.
Even if someone passed by, it was just the people in the nearby villages.
So, out of the grove, she walked a long way in one go, and no one passed by on the way.
Not far ahead, Li Zhuo finally saw a town.
Before coming out, Li Zhuo changed into the clothes worn by the most ordinary people that she specially brought out from the palace.
She deliberately 'messed' her hair and smeared a little dirt on her face, so that she could try not to attract anyone's attention.
Therefore, although she also saw a few passers-by along the way, her inconspicuous dress did not attract the attention of others.
In this way, the heart that Li Zhuo was carrying was slightly relaxed.
There was an old man in front of her who was driving a carriage with some straw on it, and she walked a few steps forward.
"Uncle, may I ask where it is up ahead?" she asked.
"Phew. ”
When the old man heard this, he stopped his horse, he turned his head, pointed ahead, and asked her if his face was gray, but his clothes were still clean, and his appearance was not ugly.
"Girl, are you asking about the town ahead?"
"Yes, I just want to know, where is the front? I came from the countryside and came out to visit relatives, thinking that I was 'lost' in the road. ”
Li Zhuo deliberately followed the old man's questioning accent and changed his habit of speaking.
"Oh, that's right! ”
"Bingxi?"
Li Zhuo's heart moved, Bing Xi This place, she had heard about it from Leng Xiaoxi's mouth before.
At the beginning, Aunt Zhou Ruoyu didn't marry Zhao Guo, a city called Bingxi.
However, I heard from my mother that the man Zhou Ruoyu married later died, leaving only Aunt Zhou Ruoyu to guard the son she gave birth to, and her deceased husband's son to live together.
When I came to this place this time, I didn't know if I could see Aunt Zhou Ruoyu.
Li Zhuo thought secretly, and smiled at the old man who was driving the car, and she said again.
"Uncle, where are you going?" Li Zhuo deliberately spoke without daring to use honorifics. She was afraid that she was too polite and didn't match what she was wearing.
"Girl, the old man is going to Bingxi, sell the straw on this cart, exchange some silver, and bring some things back by the way. ”
The old man pointed to the car, and after saying that the straw was as tall as a hill, he said again.
"Girl, if you don't dislike it, get in the car, and the old man will take you for a while. ”
When she saw the straw on the carriage, she didn't think about anything, but now, when she heard the old man speak like this, and saw that he was a good man and had no malice, she thought that her 'leg' was injured.
She was limping and walked for such a long time, and her 'legs' hurt so badly that she thought that if she hadn't been covered by a skirt, the blood gushing out of the wound would have been seen.
"Thank you, uncle. Holding back the pain, she climbed into the back of the carriage and clutched the straw rope that bound the straw.
"Uncle, sit down, you can hurry. ”
Lizhuo tried to stay as far away as possible from the old man, lest he find out that he had an arrow wound on his body.
"Drive. When the old man heard this, he sat down, turned around, and shook his whip.
With the carriage, the road ahead is very fast.
In less than half a bag of cigarettes, Li Zhuo followed the old man to the city of Bingxi.
"It's strange why the 'gate' of the city is still closed today. ”
The old man was talking to herself, and she was stunned when she heard the words, and she looked over and turned around to see.
At the gate of the city stood dozens of soldiers, these soldiers were driving pedestrians, men stood in a row, 'women' stood in a row, and even people like themselves sitting in the carriage were driven out and lined up with the flow of people.
If these people wanted to enter the city, they had to be examined by these soldiers, one by one.
On the men's side, the examination was very loose, and as long as the soldiers took a look at it and made sure that the person was a real man, they waved their hands and let them go, so the men's team moved very quickly.
On the other hand, the 'females' are much slower.
Most of the soldiers were on the side of the women, and the old women, who were generally checked and were quickly released.
And those younger 'women', especially those who are less than 20 years old, are more troublesome to interrogate.
Not only did these people ask, but they also had to lift the clothes of these 'women' to see what they were wearing.
The soldiers did this, causing the 'women' to scream incessantly.
But even so, those soldiers still went their own way, carefully inspected, and would never let their guard down because of the protest screams of the 'women'.
When Li Zhuo saw this, he understood in his heart that the reason why these people were so strictly examined must be related to himself.
The emperor, that's right, it's the emperor's order like this, otherwise, how could he specialize in the 'door' to strictly investigate the younger 'women', and be so bold and reckless.
If I go on like this, I will definitely be found out, because I have injuries on my body, because I am wearing a luxurious dress in my ordinary clothes.
"Old man, you have to get out of the car and be interrogated. ”
Finally, someone saw the carriage driven by the old man, and this person came over and said.
"Old man, are there anyone else in your car?"
"Master Jun, in this car?" the old man was talking, he had already got out of the car, went around to the back of the car, and he was just about to say, "There is another girl here who is 'lost'. ’
However, after he said this sentence in the car, there was no follow-up.
Because he saw that at the back of his car, where was the figure of the girl just now!
Could it be that the girl got out of the car only halfway through? Or was she driven away by these soldiers, and the gang of 'women' went to the ranks?
Thinking of this, the old man's eyes searched and 'touched' the pile of 'women'.
However, no matter how he looked, he didn't see that girl.
Where did that girl go? Could it be that she could escape from the ground? Could she fly? Or was Fang Cai dreaming of herself?
Anyway, the girl in the carriage was gone.
Since it is gone, there is no need for the old man to say anything to these soldiers.
No one wants to get into trouble, and it's not okay to find trouble.
The old man was obviously a man, and he was still a very old man.
Therefore, the old man was quickly let go, but when his carriage passed the city gate, there were soldiers who hated the person in charge, looking at the pile of grass on the carriage.
You know, this grass can hide people, so this person picked up the sharp knife in his hand, pointed at the pile of grass, and poked it up and down, left and right for a while.
At this moment, she saw that she couldn't escape, so she got into the straw pile.
When the sharp knife stabbed in, she was poked in several places on her arms and legs.
It's just that the wound is not very deep, but even so, she almost exclaimed several times.
The old man. I didn't expect the soldier to be like this, when this person's sharp knife stabbed in, the old man's heart followed tightly, and his heart rose to his throat.
When the sharp knife came out, he clearly saw that the tip of the knife was stained with blood.
This girl is really hiding here, she is like this, obviously these people are looking for her.
"That military master, you see, it's just some straw in our car, where can we hide people. ”
As the old man spoke, he deliberately approached the soldier, clinging to the tip of the knife, and he used his clothes to secretly wipe the blood off the tip of the knife.
How could he not be afraid, if he really searched for that 'girl' in his car, even if he didn't die, he would be beaten as an accomplice.
Accomplice, he can't afford this crime.
If that's the case, how can you live as a family, if that's really the case, you have to be skinned if you don't die!
Thinking of this, the old man was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
The blood on the tip of the soldier's knife was wiped clean by him, and the old man's heart was relieved a lot.
"Why are you still blocking the door? ”
Since there was no one in the carriage, the soldier had no patience, and he drove the old man away as soon as possible.
At this moment, the old man, his white 'hair' was wet with sweat, but he didn't dare to show that he was too anxious to leave, and he wanted to know even more, who was the 'girl' in his car?
Because, the more anxious you are, the more suspicious others will be, so he 'licked' his face and asked the soldier.
"Then military master, dare to ask, why are these 'women' inspecting these 'women'?"
"It's nothing wrong with you. The man said, turned around and left, while a military master beside him said to the old man.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, the queen mother in the palace ran out of the palace, we are on the emperor's order, thoroughly investigate the traces of the mother, old man, if you meet a young 'girl' on the road, you have to report, you know, the emperor's edict said that those who report will be rewarded, and those who can be promoted to become rich." ”
Yes!
When the old man heard this, his face turned gray all of a sudden.
It turns out that the 'girl' on her car is the queen's mother?
No wonder the dialect in her mouth is so awkward, it is simply a donkey's 'lips' and a horse's mouth.
No wonder the good 'girl' has to smear her face like that? No wonder she doesn't know the way.
A princess of Yan Kingdom, she has never been out of the palace since she came to Zhao Kingdom, how can she know where it is?
The more the old man thought about it, the more scared he became, he wanted to report to the military master, but in conscience he couldn't help it.
You know, if the queen is caught, then... Obediently, the old man didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Drive, drive, drive. ”
The old man exerted his strength, and he instinctively drove the carriage away.
