Chapter 245: Escape
The ditch dug was about half a man's height, but fortunately it had not rained for more than half a month, and now there was no water in it, and several people crawled silently, sheltered by shrubs on both sides. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Although he didn't have a lantern in his hand, it wasn't very dark in the night.
for the fire behind it is already burning.
"It's a pity that Zhuangzi ......"
Jianqiu muttered behind Su Rongyi.
Xu Xia lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for this, we would have ...... a long time ago"
As soon as she said this, Jianqiu immediately shuddered.
Du Dafu is also worried, "My wife is ......"
"Their goal is me, as long as I don't get in the way, I won't embarrass them."
Su Rongyi said.
The subordinates generally live in the east, and as long as they are not rushed to death, they should be fine.
A few people finally came out with dusty leaves.
I went to the main gate in the dark, and the four miles and eight towns here are all pitch black, even if it is just a scattered villager, it has long been in order to save fuel money will not light the lamp, fortunately, Du Dafu has been here for so many years, and is very familiar with these criss-crossing roads.
The snort of a horse was heard. Jianqiu said happily: "There are really horses!" β
Several people groped their way over, and all of them climbed onto their horses.
Originally, the Yang family wanted to ride two people together, but Su Rongyi said: "I will ride, Jianqiu and Xuxia are two of you one." What's more, sister-in-law Yang, I can't hold you back. β
Once encountering a pursuer, the Yang family will inevitably have to stay behind, so it is naturally better to take a single horse. There was no objection from the crowd.
"Lao Du, you go ahead and open the way, and I will protect Miss in the back." Yang said calmly.
Su Rongyi counted the vague outlines of the horses, a total of eight.
Just now, the Yang clan killed one, and there were seven.
"Did you bring a knife?" Su Rongyi asked calmly.
Du Dafu replied: "There is only one firewood knife, Miss take it for self-defense." β
Su Rongyi said, "Go, cut off the heads of the remaining horses." β
Jianqiu Xuxia was shocked.
They couldn't believe that the young lady, who had always been peaceful and kind, would give such an order so indifferently.
"Little, Miss...... You don't have to cut off your head......"
"Drive them away with a whip, they won't go far, stab them, there will be a hiss, kill them."
Such cold words.
Jianqiu felt a chill on his scalp.
Yang Shi swept the firewood knife in his hand and said to Jianqiu: "Miss is right, these horses are all good horses, and they are well-trained, I am afraid that they will run back at a whistle within the range of hearing, and if they can't be driven away, the thieves will soon be able to catch up with us on their horses." β
She glanced at Su Rongyi, but she didn't expect this little girl to understand horses.
"You go first, I'll come right away."
Yang waved the knife in his hand, and the next picture was not very suitable for the little girl.
Su Rongyi stopped talking nonsense, and as soon as he raised his whip, the horse's hooves flew, and Du Dafu and the two girls immediately followed.
The night wind was whistling in his ears, and Su Rongyi hadn't felt like this galloping on horseback for a long time.
It's just that riding a horse tonight is not a good thing.
Du Dafu said: "Miss, to the east is the official road, to the direction of Jinling...... The little one also knows a small path, and it is still safe. β
"Nope! In the opposite direction, go to Jiangning County! β
Jiangning County does not have a tall city wall like Jinling, there is no moat, and the most important thing is that Su Rongyi has no confidence to go all the way to Jinling like this.
She touched the horsehair in front of her, hoping that she could hold on for a while.

At the same time, Yan Xiao and others were also coming to Jiangning County.
Ah Shou persuaded Xiao: "Young master, it's too late, you've been riding a horse for so long, don't forget it tonight." β
"Can't count!"
Yan Xiao shook the whip in his hand, eager to urge the horse under his feet to hurry up.
Ah Shou looked at the sweat on his forehead, how could their young master ever have such a time.
It's all for that Miss Su.
Yan Xiao has always taken a lot of carriages when he goes out because of his health, except for occasionally wanting to play a romantic game on the street and riding a horse, where did his eldest young master's golden jade body suffer from such a long time of bumps.
He made a decision after leaving the Qionghua Palace.
"Today, the people from Xining Palace went to Jiangning to announce the decree? Did she resist? β
Ah Shou remembered that Yan Xiao just repeated this, scolded a foul word, and immediately changed his mind and rode out of the palace.
"Haven't the investigators come back yet?"
Yan Xiao asked.
"Young master, not yet. We're not slow. β
The implication is that the first person sent to investigate is not much faster than them.
Yan Xiao sighed secretly, knowing that he would put two eyeliners on Su Rongyi Zhuangzi.
But with her strong personality, she doesn't like that.
A light appeared ahead, and the man who had been sent to investigate had returned.
"Phewβ"
Slow down for the time being.
"How?"
"Young master," someone reported: "The Zhuangzi of the Su family...... It's on fire! β
Yan Xiao pulled the reins, gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough." β
There will be no coincidences.
Xie Miao still made a move.
Ah Shou also probably understood the reason why the young master was so out of shape tonight, and he really guessed correctly.
Yan Xiao asked again: "How is the movement?" β
"There was only the sound of busy fighting the fire, and many tenants rushed to help."
The carts drove the cattle and carried the water, and it was very busy in the big night.
"No fighting?"
"Nope."
Yan Xiao frowned, "Let's go, let's go find her." β
Ah Shou didn't ask him why he knew that Su Rongyi wasn't caught, nor did he ask why he was heading all the way to the west.
He wanted to say that Yan Xiao didn't have time to answer himself at all now.
The dust was flying, and Yan Xiao waved his horsewhip more fiercely than before.
He has faith in himself.
Su Rongyi, he has more confidence in her.
So, he thought, if the two of them could still have the same heart and mind as they had done a few times before, she would definitely be waiting for him in front of him.
The wind blew the sleeves and flew around, and Su Rongyi and the others finally detoured back to the main road near the county seat.
"Miss......"
Jianqiu's face was already pale on horseback, she had never suffered such a sin, but fortunately, there was a Xuxia behind her to support her.
Suddenly, Yang shouted, "It's coming!" β
Everyone immediately shuddered.
Su Rongyi only felt his heart beating "thump" in his chest.
She clenched the wood knife in her hand.
"It's a lot of people, it's fast."
Young's ear power is excellent.
Du Dafu panicked: "Miss, why don't you hide in the grass on the side of the road, I, a few of us, lead them away......"
"I said, I won't let you die."
Su Rongyi firmly refused.
Xie Miao's people chased them, but they didn't catch themselves, so can these people still survive?
She was caught, and it wasn't the worst scenario.
Su Rongyi thought that there would always be a way.
In short, not at the expense of other people's lives.
The sound of horses' hooves behind him is getting closer and closer, neat and orderly.
It's not Xie Miao's people!
How could those seven people have such a battle.
As soon as her heart relaxed, her speed slowed down.
"Su Rongyi!"
A young man's voice with a little anxiety sounded in her ears, which should have been very clear, and there was often a slight playfulness in the voice. But for the first time, this good voice felt as if it had been worn through rough grit.
She turned around and saw a handsome young man with messy sideburns under the firelight.
It wasn't close, but strangely, she seemed to be able to see his dark eyes.
